I'd only met her a few times in he past. The first time I saw her after she'd had the Alzheimer's for a while, she was unrecognizable. She'd appeared to have aged decades, her hair was a mess and she was in a horrible state of fear and anxiety. She came to our house for a while because she'd become afraid of her husband who was doing his best to take care of her. She spoke very little and was terribly confused. Her face expressed a mixture of stromg, negative emotions. I did my best to be kind and unthreatening to her. It was simply heartbreaking.
