Yogi, my grandmother had eight children. My mom and my older uncle passed away. Trust me, it's not easier for the rest of her six children now that she has Alzheimer's. She took the death of her son really hard and her condition got worse after he passed away. Anyway, she is now at the nursing home and although that breaks my heart, I can't see any other way that any of us would've been able to take care of her at home.
