Your mom is overcome by fear because of her memory loss. You "anchor" her. She likely could be helped with some anxiety medication. Please take her to a doctor for a good checkup, if it's been awhile. Otherwise, contact her doctor and see if medication can help her with the fear. Fear is a part of Alzheimer's, so don't blame yourself, and don't epect it to go away. But maybe medication will help her some.
Take care,
Carol
