I'm sorry your father passed away. It will be a hard fathers day.
My brother was a huge help & very supportive in the beginning. I
just don't think he can deal with it & has totally tuned out. Can I
ask how long your father had WK?

Even though my dad has had the diagnoses for 3 years i haven't seen
any downturn for him. Just specifically NO short term memory.
