My mom is dealing with memory loss and heading toward dementia/Alzheimer’s. We found an aneurysm and hoped that would help… but her memory is getting worse, but what I see most is she is so easily agitated and frustrated. She can’t remember talking to me or telling me something 5 minutes ago. Getting in a car she is sometimes terrified. She stopped driving. I see her whole personality changing and have no idea how to help her or deal with it so she doesn’t see me get upset. How have y’all coped dealing with your parent(s)?
