Indeed, and more horrifying the longer you think about it. Dementia/Alzheimer's that is. Imagine just not even being able to reflect on your life, in severe cases, or maybe you just don't know where you are at all times during the day and have to be sedated so you don't panic yourself to death.

My step mom's father had Parkinsons, Alzheimer's and Dementia. It was the sadest thing to see at times, the man had a period of lucidity before his passing where he told my stepmother he was ready to go and finally see his wife again. He died a day after my birthday, I still think of him sometimes.
