Marie,
I think the disease may have taken over Ed's words, thoughts, and body. But I think that what remains the same is his spirit. I know this may be hard to define, but I think it may also be referred to the essense way down inside his core. At this point it is something felt, not heard or seen. I may be all off-base, but this is just something I believe.
If you are able to connect with these, maybe it will be possible to detach a bit to the other situations that arise from the disease.
Wishing you some peace.
Maryanne
