The Sundowner Syndrome is a nightly problem that I have to really be patient with. At least, it keeps he busy. Currently, I am having problems with my wife's hallucinations. This goes on for about 2 to 4 hours each night and if I am not careful with what I say, she gets very angry. It usually involves impossible happenings in and around the lake behind our house and she wants to call the police or HOA to report it.

Good day, @shirlpat My wife's hallucinations were tough for me to manage through as well. It is a tough aspect to deal with for sure. I have to admit I lied a lot in those times agreeing with about what she smelled, saw, heard, etc. and making a lot of fake phone calls to whomever she thought needed to know of the situation. The hardest for us was when I'd be in bed next to her and she'd be sure I was standing at her side of the bed talking with her. I recall a few times rolling out of bed and crawling on the floor so I could get around the bed and stand up where she was sure I was.
This stage lasted only a little over a year for us so I hope it will pass for you, too.
Strength, Courage, & Peace
