It seems out of fashion to show evidences of emotions other than happiness and rejoicing when in public here in 2014.
The reality is that many of us are what the programmers of society call "sentimental". In some circles sentimentalism is seen as a sign of character weakness. That is just plain wrong. In memory loss situations being sentimental and showing emotion is the recognition of the tragic side of life. Character strength is demanded of those who are Care Givers, Family and Friends.
The outward display of emotion that goes with parting from a companion, friend and lover is what real life and drama is all about. Of course, it is not scripted and predictable. Memory Loss is the opposite of what we would want to happen in our lives. Survivors find that living on is a great challenge It demands dealing with changing emotions as time recreates scenes that gave life and meaning to existence.
