Flatbutt,
Sorry to hear of your struggles. The loss of a parent or other family member in this was is so hard. We understand death, but the loss of the mind in an otherwise seemingly healthy body is worse in some ways.
It may or may not help you maintain a feeling of connection, but was your mother at all musical? You might try bringing in a player with old songs or hymns to see if they trigger memories.
I know of a couple of cases of folks who can't remember their families, but remember the words and melodies of songs of their generation.
Prayers
Les
