I want to make it very clear that there isn’t anything wrong or embarrassing about cognitive decline. It is a natural part of life, and, usually, inevitable if one reaches a certain age.

What is wrong and embarrassing is pretending like it doesn’t exist, or that it poses no problems. Unbelievably irresponsible behavior from everyone here.
