Hi everyone.
I wondered if anyone has any advice please. My eldest daughter, who is 7, got upset this morning about her nan (my mom, who has Alzheimer's) and said she feel like she doesn't love nanny anymore because she gets annoyed and frustrated with how my mom is now. Then she got even more upset saying she must be a horrible girl for feeling like this. I've tried to reassure her that there are lots of feelings that we are all going through and what she's feeling is normal. What's the best things to say, she knows the basic about Alzheimer's but I haven't wanted to say too much in case it scares her. My mom has deteriorated a lot in the last year and she is in the advance stages now.
Thank you
