A/N: And here is the final installment- a double update if you will.
6/6
Just as a warning, this chapter reveals what is wrong with Dean (although I'm guessing you may know what is wrong by now) and some readers may find it upsetting. So if you don't want to read, go to the A/N at the bottom to find out what is wrong and you can decide from there if you want to read.
"How's it going?"
"He's asking about Sam again… should I tell him?"
"No," the doctor replied, "it'd only distress him."
"He… just keeps getting worse."
The doctor smiled sympathetically. "He will. I'm afraid there's no cure for dementia."
"It's just hard… he doesn't know who I am anymore. He doesn't even remember Sam died seven years ago."
"I know."
Ben looked through the corridor window at the man he thought of as his father.
All he had been… was gone. The great Hunter… defeated.
Of all the ways I could have lost him… this has to be the most painful.
Dean has dementia and I thought of this ages ago whilst I was covering this in uni and it is not a nice thing to go through, having the disorder yourself or having to watch a loved one go through it. And to think of everything Sam and Dean have gone through, this would be a devastating way to live out the rest of their lives.
I just want to say that I'm sorry if this stirs anything up for readers in similar situations. If you want to talk about it, PM me- I've studied this and my nan has dementia too, so you can always talk to me :) plus theres a lot of help out there :)
I promise my next one will be more light hearted.
Please R&R and let me know what you think :)
