Yeah that actually sounds about right. Memory loss is often like having a word on the tip of your tongue but the word is an entire decade of your life or your partner’s phone number or anything you know you should know but you just can’t get at.

This is what happens to my 80-year-old dad as he declines mentally. He starts conversations and then it's like he forgets what words to use. It's incredibly frustrating, especially for him. He knows what he wants to say, gets into it, then there's a "file not found" moment that derails him.
