Hi my Steemians friends,
As you know last week, I went to visit my family in Brittany. This is an area I love because I grew up there and I have a lot of memories there.
I would have liked to share more things, photos, places that I know unfortunately I did not really make tourism this time.
Indeed, I went to visit my family and in particular my grandmother who is sick.
She has Alzheimer's disease, do you know?
Alzheimer's disease is a loss and irreversible and progressive neurons and mental functions which results, in particular, the MEMORY loss. And especially short-term memory. This is what is happening with my grandmother, she is able to tell me about events that took place 50 years ago but she can not believe what she was eating an hour ago.
This is very difficult to accept in this disease because it is troubling for people who are not affected.
We knew that she had this disease about two years ago. It was a shock for everyone because she is a strong and very independent woman who has worked hard all his life. And then one day we are told that she can not stay alone at home because it is too dangerous.
Indeed, the problem with people with this disease is that they do not realize how much time passes or even what time it is. My grandmother was leaving her home in the middle of the night thinking she was shopping ... It had become impossible to stay alone so we had to find a specialized center that would take care of her.
We found a specialized center rather quickly because the situation had become urgent. She has been here for two years and everything is going very well.
But here, as I travel a lot and live 13,000 kilometers, I can not see her much. Until now we could have short phone calls but recently it's impossible because his speech is very destructured and it always makes me sad when I hang up ...
When I went to visit her last week, I was so happy to see her because it had been months since I had seen her. But I did not keep my enthusiasm very long because I saw his condition deteriorate. She confuses more and more people and as she sees me less often I have the impression that she is beginning to recognize herself. And for me, it's a tear ... I could not contain my tears leaving the center where she lives. And even when you write these words, it's difficult ... I feel that this damn disease takes away from me a little more each day and it breaks my heart ...
There are surely some of you who know this terrible disease that affects not only old people but also young people sometimes ...
I am with you wholeheartedly and if you wish, do not hesitate to express yourself on this post.
Even though life is sometimes unfair, we do not forget them ...
I'm not used to writing posts like this one, but it's good to say what you have on your heart. The blogger's life is also that ...
I love you grand'ma...
Much love from Barcelona... ❤
I read this smiling as I have been to Brittany twice, and have beautiful fond memories of there... although it pains me to recall them, as both times I traveled there with my best friend (mother) , who since... has passed away. It pains me very much to recall the beautiful cobbled streets, and the beauty that is Mont St-Michel of Normandy....
I can still smell the precious cakes and delicious bread... I would do anything to go back in time , as I don't think I would be strong enough to revisit the time we had there, alone.
..and in a flash I read your sad story of your grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer's.. I understand you completely as I look after patients with this very sad disease... unfortunately it is a disease that spreads to loved ones too... and infact, can effect them even more- I am thinking of you right now as it's a far from easy road ahead..
Much love also, from Ireland ❤️
Thank you for this very beautiful and nice message ...
I'm so sorry for your best friend who died. I hope she's resting peacefully where she is ... I'm sure she's looking at you with a lot of love right now.
Even if it's difficult, you have to try to remember only the good moments spent with the person, the laughs, the joys and forgetting the pain. I think time helps a lot ...
Are you a nurse? I have a lot of respect for people who do care work for others. I am a social worker for children with autism. Thank you for taking care of others ❤️
Thank you for your kindness , such a sweet message!!
This is true...when you have such beautiful memories it can bring pain within your heart...but it's a different kind of pain...a pain that we should be grateful for, because we have lived the experience and loved until it hurts... that's a special kind of love!
Yes I sure am :] & have been blessed in caring for such wonderful people, that no disease can cripple me into believing that the person, with all their traits and sense of themselves ain't still living inside of them 💗
wow you do wonderful work also! We are truly blessed!
You are right and we should be grateful every day for what we have. I admit that I do not do it enough! But it's decided I'll go back to mediation because it helps me a lot to take a step back ...
Thanks for your nice comment my dear @aineyann ❤️
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma! My grandma has a disease too so I know how you feel! Stay strong!
Thank you my friend! I try but sometimes it's difficult ...
Sorry to hear the situation. That disease taking our love one alive. Horrible. Life situation sometimes we can't control . I can just say acceptance if there is no hope. I know easy to say but that's one way can help to less a little bit pain you carry. . Hope you feel better soon.
As you say, we can not control ... I try to accept and let time but sometimes it feels good to talk about reducing the pain a bit ...
thank you for your support @mjtravel <3
🔥@flamingirl 🔥I know what are you talking about. My work in hospital taught me a lot of thing. This is one of those things...
“No matter how strong you are, no matter how you are and how healt you are at the moment, disease wins moste of the times (sad, but true), but only people, how have a strong will and the people how stand beside them in those hard time have a chance, to make the best of the time, that they have left.”
With love, @marjanko
Thank you @marjanko for this nice message ...
It's true you're right, you always have to believe and be strong ... Finally it's us who will suffer, they are happy because they do not know they forget ...
❤️Yes, surround yourself with people that you love and the path will get a little bit easier ❤️
I think that this can be the answer
I heard about this thing long time ago.

Cure for the disease is vitamin E. Vitamin E is is impossible to produce, synthesize artificially.
Real vitamin E you can only find in the butter made from the fresh milk made from the cows which are eating fresh green grass not other artificial food.
Only in the fresh grass you have active natural active antioxidant.
Butter made from the milk of these cows is very yellow.
You can buy the active component on the internet also , but I would go with the natural staff always.
Problem here is the transport of blood through the capillaries feeding the neuron cells. Sterol from the milk is giving back the elasticity to the capillaries and the circulations is improving.
When circulation is back disease is gone.
This disease is totally artificial and the answer how and why is in the book from the link I posted in the beginning .
