I can't upvote this comment enough. It is a completely different world. You've heard the words - "cancer", "Alzheimer's", "stroke", and others - but you literally can't imagine the scale of suffering involved until you find out first hand. I'm not sure people aren't willing to talk about to them. It may be that most people simply don't have the experience, and so are happy living their lives until this other world comes knocking. I suspect it would make a huge difference to many things - not least health care funding - if there was more awareness of what these words mean.
