How do you respond when your spouse keeps asking where her mother is?

@tunared By attitude changes, do you mean for the better? By the what you have mentioned it seems you are not getting much outside help. Have you ever tried to introduce another person into her life? My grandmother lit up when a "visitor" came over. You may not want to answer this question, but how long has she had dementia?

@nannybb My wife's attitude changes with the wind and just as quickly. I am her sole caregiver however, our son is nearby (less than a mile) and when necessary, will come over to calm her down.
She's had dementia about 12-14 years ( I can't remember exactly when she was first diagnosed). He neurologist stated that she is "end-stage", what ever that means. My wife is physically very healthy. She has a personal trainer one day a week and goes to the gym with me 3-4 times a week.
