Hi!
I’ve never had any experience with this illness before but I’m going abroad to see my mother in law who has been diagnosed. We noticed signs pre covid and she’s rapidly gone down hill. She thinks my husband is at university and will leave the house with the door wide open and spends her day picking flowers so her house is getting robbed. Her sibling is struggling and wants us to take her back to the U.K with us as the homes there won’t take her because she refuses to stay there and gets aggressive. I’m worried at what is best to do as there is a language barrier plus I have three children and my husband travels half the month each month. I desperately want to look after her but im also worried I won’t be able to cope. Any advice?!! Plus when I see her is it better to show her photos of her grandchildren or will it confuse her? Im under the impression she won’t know who I am as she thinks her son is 20 years younger than he is.
