I will say Alzheimer’s and #LewyBody #dementia are difficult to live with and I’m glad he’s no longer suffering and definitely in a better place, but yeah, he was a great actor and lovely person it seems and it hurts a lot of wounded hearts.
Hopefully next week finally brings good news

Patrick Stewart had #Alzheimers and #LewyBody dementia. The latter ain't no joke! It sounds like a horrible way to go. Your entire body betrays you. And I'm left thinking Donald #Trump is still here and he has never done one good thing.

#RIPPatrickStewart 🥀🕯😞
#actor #icon

#Alzheimers and #LewyBody are dreadful diseases. My parent passed from them so I know how they manifest.

I first knew of #PatrickStewart as Gurney Halleck in 1984 #Dune.

He will be greatly missed. He had a wonderful sense of humor!

Good luck to him. It is a mammoth task. But disengaging Private Equity (& from making profit) from any form of care is absolutely vital. My mum’s almost four years into a £1500 a week care home stay. #LewyBody #Dementia has left her bedbound for more than three and a half years w no quality of life.

Thank you for the highlight and example case! With #LewyBody disease, posterior hypometabolism is often more prominent than atrophy. This could be related to changes in neuronal integrity of posterior networks by a-synuclein.

#Caregiving is hard—physically exhausting, emotionally draining, and often isolating. It’s okay to feel tired, sad, or overwhelmed, and it’s okay to ask for help.

#Caregivers, you’re not alone. Take a moment for yourself today. You matter too.

I’m mostly sad and pissed off about all the opportunities that Alzheimer’s/ Lewy Body took away from my husband, my daughter, myself, and our family unit.

Often times, the mornings are the hardest. I should not be alone in the house. We were supposed to maybe go away for a clay residency. Or just hand out together. Go out for dinner, go hiking. Alzheimer’s sucks.

So far Alzheimer’s took away my partner and my daughter’s father. We’ve got a puppy and a matching tattoo. Not a fair trade.

I’m on my way to visit my daughter in college. It’s family weekend. C & I should be going together, that was the plan.
Alzheimer’s got in the way, I’m pissed and heartbroken about it. But life goes on.
