Margaret Thatcher suffers from dementia ???

[crazyaddict52]

I saw this posted in an article online, I did not know she had been ill:

"On 24 August 2008 it was publicly disclosed that Thatcher has been suffering from dementia. Her daughter Carol described in her 2008 memoir, A Swim on Part in the Goldfish Bowl, first observing in 2000 that Thatcher was becoming forgetful. The condition later became more noticeable; at times, Thatcher thought that her husband Denis, who died in 2003, was still living. Carol Thatcher recalls that her mother's memories of the time she spent as PM from 1979 to 1990 remain her sharpest."



Dementia is terrible, I hate to see people suffer from it - especially Estelle Getty who battled it for nearly 18 years :neutral:

Yes it's such a terrible disease for people to have to suffer with, and so distressing for the relatives of that person.
I feel for everyone out there who has to experience it.
