sorry if there is a question pertaining to this... My grandmother has had Alzheimer's and Dementia for probably the past 10 years now. She is at this stage where she is losing her appetite and cannot really chew her food and swallow it. She hasn't known who any of us, including her children, are but she knows that we are people she is comfortable around. A lot of the time she mixes up her past as a child and her past as a mother and those living situations. We all have kind of mentally told ourselves that she is no longer here since she is not the grandmother she was prior to these illnesses. I know that sounds terrible, but it's the only way I and my family can cope.

How much longer do you think she will be around for since she's been having this eating issue and the like for probably two years now?
