Not sure of time: Frame. Is your question about her grieving now or before he passed? Being supportive is always helpful. Letting her know you are willing to listen whenever she needs to talk is very helpful. And getting her out of the house to do something special for herself will always help.

Dementia tx: Please check all answers about dementia or alzheimer's . There is no cure for dementia but there are few medicines that may help to delay the progression if given early. Among those...Namenda, Aricept ( donazepil) galantamine, (galantamine hydrobromide) Exelon and others. New intellectual challenges may help. Exercise.
