[quote=Anonymous]My dear sweet FIL just recently passed after a horrendous battle with dementia. Kindly, you are thinking of your mom as she used to be, not as she is. Wishful thinking, possibly brought on by grief, is clouding your judgment. This is not a good thing to do to your mom. With dementia, their routine is literally everything. It is a lifeline, an emotional ballast, and what gets them through their days. Disrupting that is medically risky at times, and certainly will make life harder. Definitely arrange for visits for her while you are gone, however. My heart goes out to all of you. It is very hard. I remember being at the point when we wanted FIL to travel and realized he could not. It is painful. [/quote]
