Ugh! “Sundowning” Is a Real Thing
Sundowning is a real thing. After the sun goes down Tom’s confusion increases. His mood swings after dark are also problematic. I need to try to remember not to personalize his shifts in mood. When he drinks it’s much worse. He gets so angry if I suggest that perhaps he curtail the alcohol for the day. But with God’s help I can cling to hope.

he was a coin collector and sorting and categorizing
was calming for him. and stamps before his sight started to fail .
