OK, y’all got me thinking -so thanks.
What comes to mind is that saying:
Change what you can
Accept what you can not change and
Know the difference
So I know I can not change the eventuality of amplified MCI, leading eventually to Ahlsheimers/Dementia etc. However, I can be relentless in pursuit of management of the PACE of decline via the tenants of the HABIT program. We are on the wait list for January in Phoenix.
All that said we should not use the item in the attached picture…

Yes, the 3 C’s -

We didn’t Cause this disease
We can’t Control this disease
And - we can’t Cure this disease

@randywhite My mother had the same combination of Alzheimers and dementia. My father took care of her for over 10 years, and documented her decline. He was an avid journaler. He learned what he could, and kept abreast of how best to make her remaining time as productive and easy on both of them. She did not have the anger issues you have expressed. Rather, she went mute. Either way, it is a difficult journey for the spouse/partner/caregiver/family, and we are here to support you however we can.
