My frustration is off the charts

I keep thinking that for a person with dementia, it's almost a gift for them not to know what's happening. Not the least, they are spared the pain of leaving their loved ones , even their own life, behind.
We end up bearing our own pain, and also taking on theirs. It's kind of heroic?

I agree with what you said about dementia being a gift (to the afflicted) when the person who has it reaches the stage where that person doesn't know he/she has it. But how does that make a caregiver "kind of heroic"? We are just doing what God willed.
