Just wanted to add..........the book is definitely worth reading if you're dealing with someone with dementia. Helps you understand why they say and do what they do, and also helps you to realize you are not alone, as well as offering good suggestions on how to cope with them.
Went to visit Mom yesterday and the difference between yesterday and the day before was like night and day. Yesterday she was cheerful and relaxed and all was well. I felt much better afterwards but of course there's not telling what the next time will be like. One day at a time.
