I read lots of books, trying to find consolations and advice for her. The best of them I gave to her, with important, insightful parts underlined. I remember many tips for dealing with them, and communicating with them. No tip on communication was ever better written than that written by a fellow blogger, Maryellen Jones at Grandma's Musings (perhaps I forwarded some of those books to her, also). I'll forward the note to you. And one of the best explanations that I read of the progress of the disease is that it is the reverse of growing up, and so communications diminish in the same way, therefore the last thing to go is an appreciation of music, familiar songs and hymns, that could have been heard in the womb.
