re: Close relative is in hospice...(update page 5)

By the time she passed she thought that she was living in the time of her teenage years (she was in her 80s)

My Granny (dad's mom) passed in 1986 in her mid-90s, but had been suffering from dementia for close to a decade before she went.

At first it was just small things...she would ask when her husband would be home (he died of cancer in the 60s) and when you'd tell her he was dead, she thought you meant he has just died that day or recently.

As it progressed she reverted to that teenage or child self. She would keep saying that if she didn't get home her parents would be mad at her.
