My mother fell and also now has COPD along with her Alzheimer. While she was in the hospital in a matter of 8 hours she kept asking me where my Dad was. My father died in 1961. She was like she was back to that time of her life. She kept telling me Daddy dropped her off on his way to work and she hoped he wasn't late. I only informed her once that Daddy died. After several questions, I just answered her and did not want to tell her all day something sad. Is that right. Should we try to bring the patient up to current day if they are not there?
