My 92 year old mother has Dementia. She keeps saying that she wants to go visit her mother who is in another country. Her mother has died more than 15 years ago.
Should I keep reminding her that her mother had passed or should I continue to say that her mother is ok and that she cannot travel right now?
Telling your mom that her mom is unable to travel right now is the kindest thing you can tell her about her mom and it spares your mom from the grief and pain she would feel as if she were learning about her mom's death for the first time.
