Dementia is a terrible thing. My grandmother has it. Everytime i visit her it's heartbreaking. I came to the realization a while back that she's not the same person she used to be, that person is already gone, so I have to mourn a person who is still alive.

Have you thought about what makes you, you? If your memories were erased would you be the same person? Your "you", it's not the physical form you're using to interact with the world – it's your mind.
