When the conversation ends . . .
I have a question for the group. My Mom has never been a great conversationalist, but these days, at whatever stage of dementia she is at, we cannot carry on a conversation. I'm having such a hard time dealing with is. I sit with her, my mind racing, trying to think of things to say, of things to talk about, but it's just sooo hard. Most of the time if I ask her about the events of the day she just says, “I don’t know, I don’t remember.” It’s almost as if she really does not even try to “remember” anymore – it’s just easier for her to give me that answer.
I noticed when my Mom was in the rehab that her roommate’s daughter just sat with her and they never spoke.
How do you all deal with this? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
