I've told my Dad that even on the days where she clearly doesn't know who he is, to still have a nice visit, talk about general things, and also try to answer he questions simply.
Also, I told him to cut his visits shorter, he can't spend all day long with her, its exhausting for both.

Luckily his mood seems pretty constant. He goes in and out of clarity. Seems to know what is going on one moment and then off on a tangent the next. He doesn't have a lot of time left. The hospital is moving him to a private palliative care room. At least this way he can have a few more visitors that can see him one more time. I've given my kids (grandkids) the option to go see him. There are instances in my past when I went to see a dying relative that I much rather would have liked to remember them from before and not what they were like in their last days.
