That sounds like what are know as confabulations. The memories are fragmented and the brain fill the gaps with what seems logical to make sense of the confusion. There is little point in disagreement as it is their 'truth'.

Dementia is hard on all carers and I know only too well what it's like when the person with dementia is a husband or wife.

I just hold on to the little glimpses of my wife as she was.
