Reality

I have tried many techniques to my mom to look past tomorrow or the next day I say mom look he’s only quarter between mild and moderate sometimes more. He talks nonstop and dead focused on a few things all he wants to talk about tractor hay and farming plus he’s telling stories and goes back between 10 to 40 years she doesn’t pay attention. I’ve explained his reality. I say he could do this six months a year or five years Whats are you gonna do
She’s elderly but I have told so many scenarios does anyone have more?

  1. Hi I wonder if these articles can help your mom to better understand what is going on: https://alzheimersdisease.net/living/understand-loved-one, https://alzheimersdisease.net/living/communication-issues and https://alzheimersdisease.net/living/patience. Please keep us posted on how things are going. Jill (Team Member)

  2. Oh, I know how difficult it can be! Your mom feels the loss of how things were, your dad has a different version in his heas now. You just can take today for what it is rather than worry about tommorrow or what the future holds and hope the best for each other day you are there with your dad, mom may do this also.
