It really is unfair. She should be enjoying her life. She's a trouper and does not complain, but you can see it's taking it's toll. Although it's inspiring to see her trying to stick it out, it's a shame that his dementia may be the death of both of them.

I totally admire her loyalty. Do you think he would have done the same for her if the tables were turned?
Yes.... I do. His first wife had cancer and he retired early from law enforcement in order to be on his own schedule so he could do whatever needed to be done. He was quite the handy man and could do anything when it came to remodeling houses and the such. They got through it and she went into remission for 10 years before it came back. He stuck by her to the very long drawn out end. I have no doubt should the roles have been reversed, he'd be right there for my Mom as well.
He sounds like a wonderful man and so lucky to have your mom!
