THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT was a documentary series produced by HBO. It aired in 2009. Evie came across it in the library recently on DVD. So far, we've watched the first disc.
It's powerful.
The first episode shows people in each of the seven stages of the disease. We saw a woman very much like my mom. And, a man just a few micro steps further into the disease than my dad. The episode shows the death of a man at the end of the disease.
Another shows children dealing with Alzheimer's in their grandparents.
Another deals with caregivers.
I've already shed a bucket of tears but the experience has been good.
