What do you do when your loved one with dementia has a “good day”—but it still hurts?
In this episode, I talk about the strange emotional terrain of almost. When my mom remembers something… and then forgets it 20 minutes later. When she smiles, laughs, even calls me by name—but still believes she needs to leave for work in the morning.
These are the days that look like progress from the outside, but carry a quiet grief on the inside. Because sometimes the hardest part of dementia caregiving isn’t the chaos—it’s the clarity that doesn’t last.
I also break to the present moment, over two years into our Wernicke-Korsakoff journey, to reflect on what she’s relearned, how time gets warped, and why she still believes she should be living a life that no longer exists.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt guilty that the “better” days still break your heart.
