As dementia progresses, a person may lose the words for “I’m scared” or “my back hurts,” even as the feeling itself stays very real. That means someone else has to notice it for them. A change in expression. A shift in appetite. These small signals matter just as much as the obvious ones, and catching them early can spare a loved one from prolonged discomfort down the road. This is the heart of compassionate end-of-life care: paying close attention, trusting what you see, and responding with dignity and calm.
