The hardest part of dementia isn't the diagnosis. It's the moment your mother stands at the door in her coat at 4 p.m., desperate to pick up children who grew up decades ago - and nothing you say makes it better.

You tell her the truth, and she crumbles. You explain, and she gets more frightened. You correct her one more time, gently, and you watch the panic rise instead of fall. By the time you're both near tears at that front door, you've learned the cruelest lesson of this disease: when you argue with it, it wins - and your mother is the one who pays for it.
