how do you explain?

Question:

my nan has alzhiemer's and recently has been saying that she can hear her mothers voice, and when i explain that isnt possible, she interrupts and says that she knows it isn't possible bcos her mother is in Wales and that someone has phoned her to let her know that she is ok.
how do i explain to her that her mother is dead without upsetting her?

She gets upset when i tell her that she is at home and doesn't have to go out so how can i handle this latest problem?

please help any serious advice welcome...

there is no easy answer to this one sorry but it is possibley gonna be the hardest thing you ll have to deal with in your entire life . if you fully understand that the disease she has is a form of regression back to her child hood then she will hear all sorts or weird things yet she wont comprehend what has happened in the last few minutes its truly a horrible disease to be stricken with and my thoughts Will be with you . you ll feel like tearing your hair out at times and weepy and all sorts of emotions will over come you as her carer , altzimers attack es the nervous system and brain it will be a complete test of your inner strength to see her caring till her demise sorry but youll just have to ask for help and support from other family when you feel the need . if you dont youll soon be on the path to a break down your self as its horrible to see somone you love have this happen to them but as for things she will do no one can fore see what will happen as to her actions , my friends grandmother used to leave the house at all hours in night wear and be found wandering the streets not knowing who she was or where she was it was awful for my friend but when the good lord too her nan it was a blessing its only going to get worse im sorry .

Why do you need to explain this. Stop taking it so seriously, and just let it go. Reassure your nan that everything is ok.
