@A myALZteam Member: Regarding your first question: Chances are that your loved one's brain has atrophy in the Parietal Lobes &/or Occipital Lobes, affecting cognition and causing confusion. If you have a copy of an MRI report, it may tell you what areas are showing atrophy. See the two attachments below.

Regarding your second question: We ALL struggle with this. I was regularly dissolving into a puddle of tears and recently started taking medication, on the advice of my Therapist, which I must say is helping a LOT. Here's a link to the Q&A about that:
