Miscellaneous: Today, my grandmother yet again asked where my grandfather is....

Today, my grandmother yet again asked where my grandfather is. She refuses to believe us when we tell her that he passed away 6 years ago. She always insists that he's out cheating on her and accuses us of lying to cover his arse. FML

Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. FML

Today, I visited my grandmother who has dementia. She thought I was my father, and told me that I should never have married my mother, let alone have had children with her. FML

Today, I found out that my grandmother desecrated my grandfather's grave. 14 years after his death, she dug up his body and had him cremated so that she could sell his plot back to the cemetery for money. I was the one who found out so I had to tell the rest of the family. FML

Memory loss

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my grandfather kept on asking me questions about my girlfriend, and was obviously proud of the things he remembered about her. The only thing he couldn't remember is that we broke up. I had to talk with him about our "great relationship" for over an hour. FML

Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML

I'm sorry. Dementia is tough for any family. Stay strong, lean on family.

I think, although I could be wrong, that 'arse' is the British slang for 'butt' or 'ass'

Why, only the GREATEST THING EVER. You can squeeze them, kiss them, use them as pillows, stare at them for hours and just space out, and you can even SIT ON THEM, they're so comfortable. I got mine from IKEA. And the guy above me is totally wrong. Stop with the crazy-talk, son.

I've said too much already. Just go into your local store and tell the employees you're there to check out their fine arses. And for the love of God, whatever you do, don't Google it.

I would recommend saying he is out getting her flowers. And just keep flowers planted on his grave or in remembrance of him.

Dementia is a hell of a thing. Just keep supporting her like you're doing. Take care OP.

Tell her whatever she wants to hear. Alzheimer's patients will not believe the truth simply because you present it to them logically.

I've worked with people who have any dementia, and a helpful tip is that you should side track her and get her into a conversation going off of what she was asking. It sounds weird, I know. But it's actually proven to work and it's part of the training for people who work with dementia patients.
