My mom with dementia moved in with us

My wife who has dementia tells me everyday that she will be going home tomorrow. Usually when the sundowners kicks in. I just roll with it and mention all the beautiful things she has in our home. In the morning she forgets about it. I'm always loving and kind.

@catriver1, that sounds like a kind solution that's working for both of you. I'm sure it is heart-breaking none-the-less.

@catriver1 I love your response. Kind, and so considerate. My initial reaction when I read your post: "Home is anywhere you and your loving wife are together. That's what important here, even if she can't remember where home is.
Best, Karla
