My Aunt has been very delusional with all kinds of stories about her kids and great grandson getting killed at the nursing home. Last Sunday, my brother rushed from out of town to meet me there and our Aunt, who was going to get washed and changed in about 10 minutes rushed us out of the room because she saw two ladies at the door.

So I thought that she would be delusional today but she was in a great mood and we even watched Big Daddy with Adam Sandler. Wish she could be like that every visit.

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd!

an elder later found and linked to cancer treatment as a young person. She would call me from the US and tell me about birds she was watching, and people she was interested in or afraid of, and share concerns about snakes coming into her home through the shower (though she didn't have a shower), and then like the electricity had shorted on that faulty information would be lucid and such a joy to be talking to again.
It is a beautiful thing that you are able to spend time with your aunt and provide your presence and love while she is in a place of mind where fears come to her as reality. What a comfort you must be even if it doesn't always seem so. Blessings to you and your dear aunt.
i'll add my voice to ouilliam's assertion that it is a beautiful thing that you are able to share these moments, both good and bad, with your aunt. it be the sharing of the bad times which make the good times so precious.
