It is very hard. When I look back my mum was showing signs of dementia over 15 years ago...maybe more.

Still Alice is an insightful book...have not seen the movie.

The hard part is the disease affects people differently. My mum knows who I am, she knows where she is (does not like it one bit) but she cannot care for herself in terms of spatial cognition....she is terribly distracted by anything going on so it is like dealing with an ADD child.
