prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

Yes, agreed. It requires patience and more patience. We went through this with my mother-in-law. I simply would answer the same question 30 times as though she asked and I responded for the first time.
I hope she doesn't hallucinate. I previously sat with a neighbor several times a week for the day so the Mr. could get some free time out of the house. She had horrible, scary hallucinations. Those moments are awful for the person suffering.
I'm sorry she doesn't recognize you. That's heart breaking. I experienced this when my grandmother thought I was my brother's girlfriend. I can't imagine what goes through their mind from an awareness perspective, if they even know where they are, safe at home, or if we're just scary strangers to them.
May God bless all the caregivers in the world taking care of family members and those working in professional facilities who care for patients with dementia. It is a thankless job and does not pay well.
I loved working in memory care and with those who have alz/dimentia. The main thing I found is that they respond to the energy you bring. If you are sad and anxious they pick up on that in a heartbeat, much like horses. The best you can do is be upbeat and calm. I love alz pts, many of them are a ton of fun. And as others have said, it seems harder on the caregiver.

My grandma was always very loved -so happy to see us even if she didn't know us! She lived in a great wonderland in her mind too. We found it different but not sad, to visit her.
