Sorry to hear that. My FIL was just diagnosed with dementia and it’s heartbreaking to watch it progress.

My neighbor passed away from dementia recently. We first moved in maybe a year after his diagnosis and had to watch it progress. Horrible.

Now a friend of mine who is the best programmer I know has an early onset diagnosis. I have noticed him starting to pick fights regularly with people on LinkedIn over programming topics.

It's a really, really hard thing to watch someone go through.
