[quote=Anonymous]Knowing my relative well, she would have found some of the stuff she believed to be hilarious, if she was in her right mind. We did everything we could to take good care of her. Sometimes this including playing along with delusions to calm her down. For instance, when she was men in palm trees outside hanging christmas lights, my mom told her that she'd hired the men to do that and they'd be done soon. Telling her it wasn't happening just made her upset and agitated. We have many, many stories of playing along. These have become family lore, not just because they're humorous, but because they show us coming together to care for a grandmother we loved deeply. [/quote]
