“Confusion and hallucinations, seeing people and things that weren’t there.”
That’s what one young lady remembers about her grandmother’s unusual behavior before she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. That’s scary. That’s really scary when we see someone we love and admire so much confused by everything around her. How would you want someone to react if it were you?
That's why we have to take the time to listen. We may comprehend that they're seeing something that really isn't there, but our basic need to be heard is still part of our human make-up, and must be acknowledged especially at the moments that scare us the most.
