My mother in law is showing signs of the onset of dementia...she is very close to us and we are very aware of her daily life. I want 'real life' tips on how to deal with her forgetfulness...I do not care for textbook tips right now, hence the reason I am in Y!A and not at the doctor's office (again).
When dealing with forgetfullness of past conversations, do you remind the person you have had this conversation before or just pretend you this is the first time you have discussed it. If she misplaces her purse, do you just say, "oh here it is" and not make a big 'to-do' about it?
I think you get the gist of my question...any and all tips are much appreciated!
