Dementia and Alzheimer's
The most important differences between the two relate to the onset and progression of the disease: Alzheimer's dementia begins gradually, and the symptoms increase slowly. Vascular dementia, on the other hand, usually begins suddenly; the symptoms often increase rapidly, but sometimes also gradually and slowly, as with Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's causes memories to fade and makes everyday life uncertain – for those affected and their families.
Even when words and memories fade, the heart remains connected, because love knows no memory loss.
True closeness does not arise in the mind, but in the heart – and it lives on even in silence.
