Is this typical advancement?
Unlike previously, for the last couple of months my DW no longer has been asking to go home. She is no longer clingy or shadowing. She has also stopped trying to leave the house.
Have others seen this same progression with the disease?

We saw this with dad in late stage 6. He became "easier".

Ditto here. My partner still protests my leaving after visits but is generally more tractable, though she is not any less unhappy. She sleeps more, so sometimes I can just slip out while she is napping. I wonder how that makes her feel when she wakes up and I'm not there.

Thanks for the confirmation. I believe my DW is also late stage 6.
