An Alzheimers Moment is when you forget what you are about to say in the middle of a conversation with someone.
An Alzheimers Moment most commonly happens when you are waiting for someone to finish talking, so you can say what you want to say. But by the time they have finished talking, you forget what you were going to say.

Once my dad finished talking about the football game, I tried to remember what I was about to say. But I had an Alzheimers Moment and struggled to remember what I was going to say. "I forgot what I was going to say." I said to my dad.

When a person with middle/end-stage Alzheimer's has a brief moment where they snap out of their memory loss. It only lasts a few seconds at most, and is very bittersweet for everyone involved.
Pamela and her friend, Maureen went to the nursing home to visit Pamela's 83-year-old mother, Edna, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease four years prior.
When the two gals got to Pamela's mother, they found her in a wheelchair staring aimlessly at the wall. But when Maureen tried to introduce herself, Pamela's mother had an Alzheimer's Clarity Moment.
"Hello, Maureen" she said, in a soft, barely-audible voice.
Ecstatic, Pamela quickly asked her, "Mom, do you recognize me?"
"Yes," Pamela's mom said after a brief pause. "Yes, I do recognize you...Pam...ela..." And then she reverted to staring at the wall, her sudden moment of clarity forever lost.
Pamela began sobbing, while Maureen did her best to console her friend. That was the last time they saw her mother before she succumbed to the disease.
