My frustration is off the charts

My wife was diagnosed summer of 22. She had been showing some signs of 'foggy brain' for a couple of years...
Now somewhere in stage 6 (of 7). I have found several books that were helpful.
"Loving Someone Who Has Dementia" is the latest - it is directed to us a caregivers and has been a big help.
"Still Alice" is informative, and emotional.
"Dancing with Dementia" was written by a person with Frontal Temporal Dementia - hard to believe, but brings the perspective from our loved one's viewpoint.
My heart goes out to all caregivers and their loved ones - I can not imagine how it feels to see your SELF fading away physically, spiritually and cognitively...

I watched Deb do Sudoku for years, so I think she knew something was going on. And it didn't bother her that she didn't know the day of the week. My 'theory' is the experience is more like a very young child not understanding how life works. And like a 2-year old, can become very frustrated. When its hard to understand your thoughts it is exhausting so they sleep alot . I hope I'm right.
