[quote=Anonymous]My grandmother was like this. I think it was just a really negative script running in her head. So I would work with her and just keep up a conversation the whole time. I would ask about her childhood or anything that would lead to interesting stories. She would get so involved she would forget to moan/ complain. Or if she started I would respond by making a crazy over the top complaint myself and that would make us both laugh. I know it is hard and takes a lot out of you to do this. But the visit is short and she won't be with you forever. And I got to hear some really funny stories when I asked. I still miss my grandmother, but I think I am one of the few. Most people just remember her complaints. [/quote]
