Such a difficult passage. I highly recommend two movies: Away From Her with Vanessa Redgrave which is a fantastic love story about a couple dealing with Alzheimers, beautifully done......and Iris, about the novelist Iris Murdoch's life with Alzheimers, as written by her spouse. Just to shore up what you are going through, knowing others are walking that path too.
