My grandmothers died many years ago from illnesses of one kind or another. I wonder whether it's better to go out with a bang, so to speak, or slowly fade away. I'm not sure which is more agonizing to deal with - for the survivors.

Your finding the article in the Economist from your grandmother - what a lovely memory to have of all she was. I remember getting a letter from my great aunt after she was diagnosed with alzheimers. I was 12 years old and didn't understand. The letter flowed from thought to though out of her mind through the typewriter for the first half. For the second half, she took up a pen. It was a hard realization. Your mother's patience with your grandmother is wonderful.
