RE: Phantoms in my mind, dementia is unkind.
😢 I will see her in two weeks, she has just been put in a home because the care routine was too much for my family, apparently she likes it though she has always been quite social and has made some friends, she carries little plushies in her purse, so cute she's like a child again, at least she seems fairly happy though I am sure she is scared sometimes as well it must be very confusing.
Coloring simple pics, folding washcloths and towels; things like that are helpful in my experience. Even if she forgets who you are, just learn to be who she thinks you are. I'm glad she sounds happy.
Thanks for the advice she seems to love art and music :) she also seems to like washing the counter hundreds of times so the counter is very clean!
