Elder-caregivers

It makes her happy when she asks about someone and I say they are outside or in the next room and she'll see them soon. She lives in the moment. She has no memory of the last moment. These are moments to be cherished. We are lucky that my mom doesn't know she has any impairment so she's happy. It would be much harder if someone understood things were not quite right, but I'd still not remind them of something that would then make them sad such as a loved one's passing.

Just my two cents but my mother is quite happy when she asks about someone and we tell her they are fine and I see no harm. Her reality is not ours.
