Dealing with Dementia...She lives in a world of the moment, starting over each second. No memory of the moment before, she lives in a world of forgotten stories. She forgets so many things, and I'm afraid she's forgotten me.

Getting worse....
My mom is drifting farther away, into that misty world of dementia. Her behavior is becoming more bizarre. I had to move her out of her assisted living facility. She is now in a private home with one-on-one care, but she is not happy. Will she ever be happy again? Will she know if she's happy? This disease is a heart-breaker. She still recognizes me some of the time, but it doesn't seem long before she has drifted a little farther from me. I have had all kinds of help and support during this process, but I still whine. Please bear with me. I just love my mother and want the best for her.
