I was very moved by the programme as it reminede me of many of the issues we dealt with when my Dad had Alzheimer's. 5 years ago right now, my Mam died, and Dad gave up all will to live. He died Southern 100 week 2003. Like Sir Norman, his tinming was perfect!
Bear in mind we saw Sir Norman as he was a year ago. the ireversible, inexorable progress of Alzheimer's has taken it's toll since then.
I am filled with admiration for his family, and, in particular for Kim. What a lovely woman.
It's always easier for paid staff to deal with these behaviours... it's not ther Dad, but it's still a hard and often very sad job. They are heroes.
