After being alone with him for ten years, out of the public spotlight, slowly, quietly watching him go down hill, I tend to feel that she may have thought that most American's just forgot and just went about their lives.

She did an interview a few years back. She seemed VERY involved in his care. What do you do with yourself, after years of constant caretaking, when that person leaves? It isn't like raising a child, who gradually pulls away, and then leaves home. One day he was there, needing her, and the next, just gone.

God Bless her. I can't imagine where the strength comes from.

She was a nurse's aide before she got into acting, IIRC.
