  Alzheimer’s is not discriminating.  It is the cruelest disease ever.

  The same thing happened to a friend of mine… she was 35 when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s… 2 weeks ago, she was moved into a memory care facility … she doesn’t know who she is, who her parents are, her husband or her children… it is the CRUELEST disease ever!

  Shameful government that offers no financial aid for this family. Shame on them.

  My girlfriend who is the love of my life is dying from early onset alzheimers. She has a rare genetic trait. Her father died when he was 36. She is 33 and can barely talk or walk. This is all been unbearable. Thank you for sharing your story.

  It's bad enough to get Alzheimer's in  your 70's or 80's but to get it as young as this girl is and pregnant too is just horrible.

  I was a hospice nurse and once cared for a beautiful man, age 46 with Alzheimer’s. He was diagnosed at 43 with two very small children. It was heartbreaking to see his rapid decline. Rebecca’s husband was so loving and devoted that I am sure he is a great Dad to their daughter.

  My grandma who raised me had Alzheimer&apos;s... it was hands down the most gut ripping pain both she and I endured. My grandma would cry asking God what she did to deserve it... the day of my wedding..my husband and I live 2.5 hours away from where my grandparents lived....she couldn&apos;t travel so we took our wedding to her...it was the last day she knew my name. &nbsp;My heart goes out to this family. This is years later, but I hope she is at peace. I wouldn&apos;t wish Alzheimer&apos;s on my worst enemy

  How sad and horribly tragic. &nbsp;She died just a little over a year later, in July of 2011. She was only 32, and her baby was only 15 months old at the time. May she rest in peace.

  She passed away in Sydney, Australia. &nbsp;She was not very ill &amp; had not received a diagnosis when having scans for her pregnancy. &nbsp;Her birth was by C-section, and she does did not remember the birth nor was she able to interact with her child at all until she died. &nbsp;Her illness was a very rare form of a genetic illness, with a swift decline. &nbsp;I believe her child was tested in utero, and does not carry the gene. &nbsp;It was an atypical but tragic illness. &nbsp;Thankfully the remaining family appears very close and supportive...wonderful people.

  Having lost my partner at 44 I know how cruel diseases are but I think Alzheimer&apos;s is by far one of the cruelest. This broke my heart how she had everything to look forward to &amp; it was cruelly ripped away from her &amp; her husband. Rest in peace 🙏
