Yep. To be trapped in a body that will not respond and to be reliant on everyone around you. Just horrible.

My nan was diagnosed with it. Luckily she died only 6 months after the diagnosis from a heart attack. My mum has always seen it as a blessing.

It is rotten for the victim of the disease and for the family. My cousin stayed strong for 10 years but it was awful on her kids. Horrible, horrible disease.
