re: A family member with dementia and telling them they can't drive

I hate to hear that man.

Both my grandparents on my dad's side have/had dementia. I don't live near them so I don't know half of what you must be going through.

My grandfather just passed a little over a week ago and my grandmother was not well enough to go to the funeral.

We all went to see her after the funeral which was nice but it was terrible when she would ask "we just lost someone didn't we, who was that?" basically had to tell her 5 or 6 times that her husband of 71 years had just passed.

Grandfather was 96, Grandmother is 95.

My grandmother on my mom's side had it too. She never got too angry. Mostly just sad to watch her fade.
