Hi, I care for my mum, she's 86 and has Alzheimer's, diagnosed about 9 years ago! I share the care with my brother and we manage in a fashion! I was wondering if the stories she tells, the delusions and fears she expresses on a daily basis are likely to be based on historical experiences! My mum repeatedly talks about an airplane crash in the hillside, being told to get down and hide to stay safe or 'they' will come and get her! She would have been around 8 or 9 at the time of the bombings in Clydebank and lived around 20 miles south of Glasgow! Is there likely to be a connection or am I seeking to make one where none exists? Where do delusions come from! They seem so real to mum! Sometimes she shows real child like fear!
Thanks
Thanks
