I wish you hadn't asked me that. I had a long-time friend who has been in the hospital with a massive stroke for some time now. The person in her body is like a sweet, passive small child with amnesia. I have finally got a gut feeling for the term "mind-wipe." I honestly feel as if it were a different soul there.

Sorry to impinge on your grief. It's something I've had to wrestle with myself with my grandpa with a series of strokes - each a little worse, and each of which took a little more of him away -and my great- aunt with Alzheimer's.

You've summed it up so well.
