I used to find this very difficult to deal with. On the one hand, you're seeing your loved one suddenly talking again, almost as if they're returning to you, which is wonderful - it's a reminder of what they were before the dementia took hold, something that is very easy to forget. On the other you then have to watch them slip away back into confusion and non-involvement.
