I am sure you are still a comfort to her when you call. It is very hard I know, the last time I saw my grandmother she didn't know that I was her grandaughter or that her daughters were her daughters. I bought her an ice cream which she love and then I left and cried

I've never been in this position, I just can't imagine.
I'm sorry.

I have seen it in older relatives...
Far too many times.  The recognition fades and then they are a stranger to you, but a stranger you love.  My Grandmother was sharp as a tack until the last 2 months of her life when the cancer and pain killers took her brain away.  It is rough.  You will get through it.  I know now that my grandmother is at peace and that is comforting.

There's no easy way to deal with seeing loved ones slowly fade from us.
