Dementia doesn’t arrive like a single moment you can point to and understand. It doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t ask permission. Instead, it enters quietly—like a shadow stretching across a familiar room—until one day you realize the person you love is still physically there, but pieces of them are slowly slipping away. That was how…
