re: My Mom has been getting worse with her dementia

My dad and I took care of mom until she passed. It was heartbreaking, especially the final days when she could not understand how to eat, drink, swallow, etc.
I hate to tell you it’s going to get a lot worse.
When awake, mom constantly walked in circles. She would not sit down. She constantly begged to “go home” to see her daddy who had died in the 1950s. It was so damn sad.
My best advice is to try to be patient. I convinced myself the last few months that she was not the same person who had been the rock of our family, and it made her passing easier to take. My parents had been married for 62 years, and I think dad had come to the same conclusion I had. My brother and sister lived hours away, and they took her death pretty hard. Seeing her deterioration on a regular basis kinda prepared me for her passing several months in advance.
