Problem is that we do call and visit often, but she just doesn't remember. Went to see her Monday after Easter and she went on for a very long time crying and saying she hasn't seen my sister. Thing is my sister took her to church on Easter and spent the whole day with her. I tell this to mom and she still doesn't remember.
Anyone have any tips?
seriously tho, most dementia sufferers have bad depression issues. i hear my mother sobbing several times a day out of frustration. not necessarily sad just frustrated and confused. she has always been a very analytical and brilliant person but now simple things overwhelm her.. she really doesnt understand dementia as brain matter loss. she doesnt really care if anyone visits or not. ill bet she gets a little pissy with the nurse eventually. she doesnt really like anybody telling her what to do..
