How do you handle your Mom after Dad's passing?

Posted by rn1990 @rn1990, 4 days ago

Mom suffered a TBI and already had some dementia/cognitive issues before her fall.Shw knew Dad had passed away and now she thinks he's still here.They were together 62 years so in away it's a blessing because she would be so hurt.Its hard to go along with her or answer her when she wants to know where he is, especially hard since his birthday is 1/14.

Sorry to hear about your Mom's problems. If she had dementia/cognitive issues before her injury, TBI would certainly make it worse. In my opinion, make sure she can see any cards from their friends and pictures from his funeral. There is a lot for her to remember, and healing is a long time process. Just love her and tell her you miss him too.
