Seven years ago my sister’s son married, had a couple of kids (which she adored), then he cut ties with her. She’s not sure why, and he won’t talk to her. She aches to see him and her grandkids. Fast forward, she has dementia, and, while her husband helps immensely, he’s exhausted and she may need to move into a memory care facility soon. My question: can the emotional trauma from this estrangement have caused her dementia? I think the answer is yes, but I’m hoping to hear your thoughts. Thank you.
