Hi guys
This may sound trivial but it's been a very stressful morning & I've still got the contents of the Hoover to search through. My mum has mixed Dementia & have a couple of pieces of jewellery (a locket from my dad & a ring) that are of great sentimental value to me, but she insists on wearing them & every other piece of jewellery she owns! it's not that she is especially attached to them (long story), but she keeps taking them off and on and at the moment, having found the locket this morning, she lost it again within half an hour. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do to try & keep them safe? Every time I suggest that I put them away safely, she acts as if I'm stealing them and every time they go missing she gets aggressive and denies losing them, then tells me that I'm the problem! I'm just sad that they may get lost for good
