My mum, who has dementia had a sister in Italy who died at the weekend. She has not had much telephone contact with her in the past year. Basically, I think I am going to tell her as it is her right to know. However, I am worried that she will forget and then ask about her again and forget etc each time getting distressed or upset.
does anyone out there have experience of such matters. Mum has lived in uk for 40 years and although we used to go back to see her mum and sister etc a lot, this became less and less. What I mean to say is that her sister in Italy was not a big part of her day to day life. My aunt was 89 and had been ill for a while.
thanks in advance for any input.
