  • Dying to Meet Him: I'm Dying and I Feel 'Dumb'

    I was also very frustrated and angry with my mental decline. I used to be so intelligent and creative. Now my short-term memory is shot and I can only concentrate on something for a short period of time. I used to have a huge vocabulary and was so articulate.

  • German Grandmother Lives Without Money for 16 Years
