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.

You get a piece of mail, look for who it came from. It says Bill Sender. You go to someone else for there opinion on who it is. Then they say dude... that's not a name that's who you send the bill too. That's a bill moment. (T.M. Josh)

This is when something good, or bad happens, it has multiple uses and can be used for almost anything.

And stop fucking insinuating that because I manage to find some moments of joy on my miserable life it entirely invalidates the claim that- My neighbor got their car stolen I could hear him yelling about his car being gone, that's crazy- that this isn't pernicious or that it doesn't need to stop.
Hym "And no I'm not saying that we don't need to try to stop rape like seriously guy you fucking jump at every opportunity to take the worse fucking interpretation of everything that I say but it's like a higher order crime than can't be undone like murder or assault. THIS is like a second order crime where we know what was stolen and who it was stolen from and who stole it and that it was done with intent. And as far as the weaponized schizophrenia is concerned, it's not what they are saying it's what they are doing is contingent upon. Someone is clearly telling them to do that. They are feeding eachother information. And yeah the business don't want to have to fire all 7 of the employees doing it but I CAN'T LEAVE. And I shouldn't have to just pretend it isn't happening. And me being able to find moments of joy doesn't somehow negate the fact people are TRYING to immiserate me at work. They wait a week or two before they start doing it. I have symptoms that are getting worse and can't get diagnosed. I mean... Fuck. I don't need sympathy. It wouldn't do anything for me but holy shit."

a missed opportunity; something that has the chance to be incredibly awesome but is lost because of one's stupidity
