Hi
My mum is in middle to late stage, I need a bit od advice, her mum died 20 odd years ago but at the moment she seems to think it is yesterday. She is on a regular basis bursting in tears and saying my mum is dead - she fell from a great height and there was nothing we could do, my grandma died from a heart attack. My mum is always getting upset over this and we just don't know what to say to her, I try changing the subject, discusiing death and how it happens and lots of people's mums are dead. I never know whether I'm saying the right thing. My daughter struggles too she is only 14 but spends quite a lot of time with her grandma. I don't like to see my mum getting upset like this - is this normal and can anyone advice me as to what I say to her. Thanks
