Over the last few days mum has been telling me about a lady who has come to her door. This lady knew all about mum , she said, and from what I can tell it sounded like a bad dream. Now mum lives alone in a small close and has carers and me three times a day. The neighbours also look out for mum and I'm certain there hasn't been a real lady calling that isn't a member of the care team.
I tried reasoning, I tried explaining about dreams that do seem very real. In the end as mum was so very distressed yesterdayI resorted to a lie: I said she wouldn't come again because I'd spoken sternly to her and told her not to call. This has appeared to work and we've had no more talk of the lady.
Today mum has begun asking to go 'home'. I've read about this on TP, so I knew this might come, but has anyone experience of 'imaginary visitors'?
