For the last week my mother has begun to reference her mother who died some time ago of Alzheimer's and her sister who died last year of cancer. I know that seeing dead relatives is a sign that the end is near. She hasn't, to my knowledge, begun to actually see them but will ask where they are as if they were suppose to stop by for a visit. Can someone with dementia experience sudden death before entering the final stages?
I may be grasping at the small stuff but at this point it's all I have.
