Tried to remember that her poor brain was shrinking and she was in constant emotional turmoil because she relived the death of her husband,mother,brother,father over and over again.

I know exactly what you are going through. I cared for my grandmother for five years, she also had alzheimer's (like you I am pretty sure I didn't spell that right). It is very hard to watch someone you love go through that. And it is also very hard to be forgotten or feared by that person (off and on, my grandmother was convinced we were all out to get her). It can be very frustrating and almost impossible at times to keep your temper under control. That is very normal. It is just terrible and so sad. You can feel completely powerless.
