I've been very good at it since my grandfather developed dementia twenty years ago but now with Mum, I'm an expert.

Thanks!<br /><br />Yes, that is the wise way to talk with AD loved ones when they are really in the past. My husband isn't there yet, but is still fairly present with his day to day conversation. Really he is in the moment and doesn't remember earlier in the day.<br /><br /><br />Hugs,<br />CarolCarol Noren Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103922738438801967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303955596214986105.post-89204004751821292022013-12-31T21:46:22.705-05:002013-12-31T21:46:22.705-05:00I would imagine it is hard to talk with someone su...I would imagine it is hard to talk with someone suffering from dementia. My MIL had dementia from Parkinson's disease and the few times I visited her, I would always try to talk wto her with where she might be at the time (often in the past) rather than try to correct her if she said something that wasn't relevant to the present time (like her husband tended to do). My husband would go and visit her and ask questions about her growing up or young adult days, things she had no trouble remembering.<br /><br />I think it is neat you were able to make it to the party for a bit and that your hubby was drawn to go into it by people willing to work with him to do so. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
