My mother-in-law had a wonderful conversation with MY grandmother. She'd only met her once before we were married and that had been over 30 years before. She didn't have Alzheimer's, but was in the process of end-of-life issues.

Same with my father, husband and my husband's aunt.

In a strange way, it can be comforting.

It is hard to lose our parents and there definitely is a process we have to go through.

Hugs.

for a while he piped up one day and remembered the day he got off the boat in Halifax, NS after WWII and saw my grandmother. "And there was my Margaret" he said. Sad disease. Vibes to you.

I took care of my mom years ago and she had dementia, and there were days that were just oh so soulcrushing. Sending you love and support

it is good to cry... before my dad died, there were times he seemed pretty normal and then he would do things like angerly insist that my partner stole all of his underwear, and he couldn't be convinced otherwise...

Do you have friends or a supportive person to talk to IRL? Your sister of course but she's probably in grief as well.
