Friedrich's enthusiasm allowed Hannah to forget her sadness at the thought that her husband would die young. Ah ... Friedrich was a genius, wasn't he? He must know whether some particular research was promising or not.
So, if he had high hope on this one.. it must mean something. That's what Hannah told herself.
Gradually a speck of hope returned to her heart. She believed in Friedrich's judgment. If Lewy Body Dementia could be cured, then she would be very grateful, but if not ... at least they had known from the start that they had very little time left.
While Friedrich had a lot of contact with researchers and pharmaceutical companies researching drugs and treatments that could alleviate his illness, Hannah finally decided to comply with her husband's request and contacted her family.
