There is an amazing article I found in the first few days after Dad was diagnosed.  It is about a woman who was diagnosed with LBD and was written by someone who worked under her at a Virginia Newspaper office.   It's funny that I would call it amazing though because this is the one piece of literature about LBD that broke me.  It was the middle of the day, kids were at school and I ended up on the kitchen floor sobbing.  My heart was literally aching.  I hurt from the inside out and felt like I was never going to get up again.  I knew he was going to die, but reading about how it was going to happen put me in pieces.
