Helping Mom through this stage of Dementia has been interesting to say the least. Nothing....I repeat....NOTHING stays the same for long. Something that works for a while (or even once in a while) suddenly changes and there isn't a thing you can do or say to make her do something she needs to do.
If you expect this to happen it makes life a little easier. This garden gate at Fernwood Gardens in Michigan reminded me of our situation. A little grey and blurry, but something wonderful was waiting on the other side. Not a bright fabulous garden, just a shady and quiet place to rest, with little woodland flowers peeking through. A little like when we step back and just wait for the sweet little moments after Mom's mood changes back again.

way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the
left. I
