Tom,
our thoughts & prayers are with you two. I was reminded of how much your sharing of the mountain to all of us means today, as we were up there, with the breathtaking views and wind.
I have no idea if this will help, but my mom was on dialysis, and there were times she had toxin based dementia stuff.... it helped her to have some of her old favorite songs, some silly & some beautiful (she had spent her life around music & song)... they seems to ground her & calm her & she would remember events & people based on songs.
It also helped me that a counselor helped me work through some of the issues I was having (often mom would not know who I was... & I was in my early 20's & didn't quite grasp how different her cognitive reasoning had become & the changed functions we had to undertake ...& it really did help to have someone to talk through and guide me through the issues I was having to deal with...)
To both of you, I will pray for peace....
