Alzheimer's is a deadly disease that progressively reduces a healthy human-being to a person who becomes absolutely dependent on others for each and every daily-chore before becoming bed-ridden and in the bargain, being reduced to a skeleton. Now if that is a perceived to be a difficult journey, well it is the understatement because the care-givers goes through a journey that is even more arduous and difficult.
