My fiancee has been a major anchor and support for me through some very down periods that I have experienced throughout our relationship, however, she is about to experience an incredibly down period herself. Her Meme (Grandmother) has been suffering with Alzheimer's disease and is showing signs of worsening, not improving. Her Meme has been her primary support throughout her life, and therefore the lose of her will make a major impact on her. How best can I "move past my own head and thoughts" and supply her with all of the support she requires? I have, in the past, been able to support her fully through minor ventures such as going back to school (we are in our mid-20s), but she has never required this level of support before.
I, myself, do have experience with witnessing a family member suffer with Alzheimer's, as my Grandfather suffered from it during the later stages of his life, however due to the unsupportive nature of my family, have no example to base my support of her on.
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
