My elderly neighbour , aged 94 but sharp as a tack, always asks after mum, so I told her mum had died. Her son was with her, he's mid 50's.
He knew my mum had dementia, he asked "Did she know you?" & I said not for quite a while, no.
"It's odd isn't it?" he said " How they remember long ago, but nothing recent?, Mum worries about going in a home, but I wouldn't do that to her!"
So that , then, is dementia and caring in a nutshell. Who knew it was that uncomplicated?
I hope he never has need to find out more, of course, but I did feel like punching him
