I would focus on keeping him calm. You can even agree to some of these demands and say you can work on it tomorrow or something. Hopefully by then, he will not remembered he asked.

Be thankful he was in his mid 90s when it began. It is indeed heartbreaking.

I feel myself lucky that he has lived so long, and I have been able to live

My mom had it for a few years before she passed and this is what we eventually learned, as well. There's zero chance

You are blessed. With my FIL this began and ended in his 70s.

You are blessed. Many dads, including my own, were gone long before age 70
