Leonard asked B.A. Paris:

Just finished "The Breakdown" The true story of my late wife and I. You nailed the systems and problems with dementia. My wife suffered from both dementia and delirium. I often what she was going through and I think I got just an inkling from you book. Thank you. Leonard No question just thanking you for the insight. OK a question do you or any friends suffer from this?

B.A. Paris Hello Leonard, thank you for your message. I'm so sorry that your wife sufferred from dementia, it must have been very difficult for both of you. I don't have any personal experience of dementia but a lot of my friends have parents who suffered, or are still suffering, from this terrible disease, and they kindly let me use their exeriences in my book. My father is 93 and although he doesn't have dementia, he sometimes forgets words, or what he wants to say, and it is so frustrating for him. So it's fairly easy to imagine how frightening it must be when someone's mind does start going, and how hard it must be for loved ones to witness it.
I hope you have found some peace now.
