re: My Mom has been getting worse with her dementia

Prayers for the whole family.

My mom was the one to be with my grandma during the day as it progressed with her. It was rough on my mom when she would say mean or hateful things which wasn't her whatsoever. My grandmother would hide the most random things all over the house (pistachio bags, remotes, coasters, anything). They have yet to find multiple very expensive diamond rings, worth quite a lot of money.

So if there's anything valuable or sentimental that she won't know is missing, I would take it.

When she would get wound up, my mom would put her in their older car, and just drive around for hours and once she was "home" again, she was better. My grandfather who had been married to her for over 50 years told us that she would tell him to get out of the house. He was a stranger and he wasn't supposed to be there. I can't imagine the pain that was to hear and go through
