Scott, i'm sorry to hear it.

We went through the same issue. My grandma passed away this january (2016) after a battle with dementia. As her husband passed away 3 years ago, she was living alone and slowly sled into this all. It started not being able to perform everyday tasks, to complete random sh*t (storing frozen foods in the microwave, etc) and babbling about tourists living in the other room. Many times when she didn't answer a phone call, I rushed over there (other side of the city) and found her lying on the floor, complaining about "those stupid fucks not letting me stand up" and thinking there is no problem at all. I was also called by her panicked saying her cat passed away. I rushed there naturally and found the cat alive and well, granny not even remembering she called me.. The worst of it all: the complete lack of awareness about her sickness. When we even mentioned a doctor, she started to yell she is OK and leave her alone. When we mentioned a nursing home, we were almost banned from her flat for ever. Even until the last days she insisted she will go to work and we (me & my mother) don't have to. It was painful watching someone fade away, remaining a confused, near-empty husk of a person she was once. I was the only person she had a good connection with from the family and it was vice versa so it was a really painful period. I share your pain dude.

You may try alternative medicine, but alternative medicine that's proven to work is called 'medicine' so i'd rather go with that, but mind you this is only delaying the inevitable. Keep it strong!
