Reply #50: I feel the same way. I do not have children, and if My mom were alone in this world

terrible things would be happening to her. You are absolutely defenseless with alzheimers or dementia. I will make sure I find a way to die if I get this disease. I would not like to be in her condition and rely on strangers for care. Even just to cross the street, she doesn't remember when she is supposed to cross. She knows about the green and red lights but not the walk dont walk signs.
