Losing contact?

The last few days Margie has shown very little response when she is awake. Sometimes when I caress her face in a way she has enjoyed for years, now she moves my hand away. These last few days I think she has shown few signs of recognition. Why is she responding to me this way? Am I entering a new chapter in care-giving that will be without the personal interaction we have had?

I printed out the words of several of her favorite songs of yesteryears so I can sing them to her, which she seems to like. For the future will this replace interacting?
