I can imagine that and it makes me sort of nauseous.
I don't know how true it is, but I heard an ad on the radio about some guy who lost his sight, then he had surgery to fix it. From the time he lost it to the time he had the surgery was 20 years. He had grandchildren in that time period and he talked about how his wife hadn't changed from the last time he saw her and how speechless he was when he saw his grandkids for the first time.
