Best advice I’ve ever heard and will continue to give… “get in their boat and help them row.”

My grandma had dementia and was on hospice near the end. For the most part, she was fixated on her life as a young mom when one of her children died. But she had lucid moments where she talked to me about the “here and now.” Praying for you, it’s such a difficult thing to walk through.

That’s very good.

Just go with whatever they are talking about within the limits of their safety of course. There may be moments of clarity. If you struggle with them all the time to make them “understand” it’s hopeless.
