My mother started her descent into dementia some time ago. At first I didn't really notice it as I'm sure is the case with many family members. My mother became less able to find herself around unfamiliar places. We went on a cruise and she never knew where she was, nor could she ever find her way back to the cabin. Once she went off to the toilets in a hotel we had been staying at and she got lost coming back. Instead of turning right to the foyer, she turned left and ended up wandering around the car park. She had problems packing. She could never work out what she needed to take on a trip and would pack and unpack constantly. Moreover, she would take clothing she would never need...just in case. Heavy sweaters for a trip to Cyprus where the weather would be very hot.
