Living with Alzheimer's disease can be absolutely terrifying.
It's hard to imagine waking up with amnesia every single day unless you suffer from something similar yourself. As you can see in this video, it's so heartbreaking to feel confused, scared and alone, but it's even worse for the family members that love and care for someone with this debilitating disease.
When many people learn of a loved one's diagnosis with dementia or Alzheimer's it can be such a setback in life, but Lisa Marie Cerasoli decided to step up to the plate and make the struggle for her grandmother Nora Jo as easy as possible. For four years after her grandfather died, Lisa Marie would have her Gram come visit with her family, and once she became too sick live alone Lisa Marie began to live with her.
Much like in the movie The Notebook, Lisa Marie has the same conversation with her grandmother every day, where she re-explains Nora Jo's life events. In the following video, it's so awful to see Gram shaking when she learns her husband Fritz died six years earlier, but how her granddaughter comforts her is simply beautiful. This video is based off the book Cerasoli wrote about Nora Jo titled "As Nora Jo Fades Away."
It may be tough to watch an old woman feel so sad, but there's no doubt that this can help a lot of people who have family members struggling from this incurable disease.
