my mom has dementia. I didnt know until a couple weeks ago. I noticed different behavior for years but she was still engaged with her kids, living life, with all of her interests and quirks.
about a month ago her texts starting getting less and less frequent. She wasnt calling or reaching out. Now when I see her there is fear and dread in her eyes. She doesnt look at me like a mother. Im almost a stranger to her. She never texts me or responds to my texts. My mom doesnt know me. She doesnt know her. Everything she was and loved is just a memory she has lost. I see her daily but shes already gone. My family is falling apart trying to manage her care. I dont know how to let her go when she is still in the room.
