I work in a facility were the residents have dementia. Without memories they seem to be in an anxious nervous scared state of mind, even worse than the people who have bad memories. To lose your memory is to be robbed of your past, afterall you can't remember how you spent a large amount of time.... You could not decide how to deal with a present event because you had no recall of what method was an effective conclusion of your past. You could not remember all the wonderful people who had come into you life that you loved and now departed to another world. The world of no memories would be a lonely frightening place and I see the poor wandering sad souls who are our residents at work who live in that world. To not know the face of a son and daughter, of whom you shared Christmas's with is a despair beyond imagination. Many Blessings

Yes,I agree with U.It`s good to look back in time and look at the good and bad memories.

Yes. Our memories not only send us information about our childhood or something that happened yesterday but it also reminds us of everyday activities, such as eating breakfast, getting dressed or how to get to work. Without a memory we would theoretically die.

No, I don't. My life is made up of experiences. And as that is an ongoing process, it would not be 'over' because I lost memories of the past.

There are diseases that cause amnesia.
People with emotional trauma can suffer memory blackouts.
People with Alzheimer's, formally known as Dementia, can't remember the past I went to a family party once and saw an older man who was my cousin-in-law's father. He had Alzheimer's. I said hello to him, and he didn't remember me. He said, "who are you?"

you can still enjoy life even if you have short memory or no ability to memorize at all. Just enjoy the present.
