I have Alzheimer's, an insidious disease that destroys brain cells. The more the devastation progresses, the more the brain shrinks. There is no cure and no way to slow down the progression of the disease. The disease is a thief. At first it makes you forget little things here and there, but it doesn't rest until it has robbed you of everything. It robs you of your favorite color, the smell of your favorite dish, the memory of your first kiss. Your heart beats, your lungs take in air, your eyes see pictures, but inside you are dead. The spirit of life is extinguished. I call the disease insidious because it robs you of your dignity - even your soul. I often get nervous. I am often afraid. And I cry; I cry like a little child over the most ridiculous things. I've hardly ever cried in my life. (Wright, 2003, quoted in: Buijssen, 2013:18)
