I'm sorry to hear that. It's not easy to see a vital, strong youngish woman fading. I had a roommate in this nursing home who was nearly unable to recognize her family. Her niece would bring in photo albums and sometimes she'd recognize a family member. She barely ate even when fed. She walked to the bathroom, came out and saw my foot in bed. She grabbed my foot (excruciating pain from spinal neuropathy) and tried to pull me out of bed. She was then bedridden and used a wheelchair. Others act up and hurt others. My mom is 82 but has her mind. My grandmother had severe Alzheimer's . It was heart-breaking to watch her change.
Family members often can't deal with the change and rely on others to care. Your mom is lucky to have you and you show you care daily. You might consider a nursing home to spare your dad. She'd get excellent care and your dad would be able to live his later years with less stress.
