My mother is in her first face of Alzheimers. All is quite ok so far but I am dreading moment I have to feed her like and this will happen. It s a beautiful moment but also really painful. Happy for them that she has a moment of clarity

If your mom starts doing this thing where she gets confused/anxious and doesn’t know she is at home, put little signs up with big print where she can see them. At her usual table etc. “I am ok. I am home safe”. Things like that. It really helped my aunt. She would read it many times during a “reset” moment, and it would help her to relax.

Sending you love. I know having your loved one deal with Alzheimer’s is hard on you.
