My Husband Is Constantly Saying His Brothers Just Told Him To Meet Him Somewhere. They Have All Died But He Doesnt Believe Me.

He gets all dressed and no matter what I tell him , he wants to leave the house, I have tried Cowboy movies to distract him and that sometimes works. What else can I do?

Sometimes my husband thinks we still work. Sometimes we get in the car and take a ride. He forgets about work.

Would you feel uncomfortable saying you thought his brother was going out elsewhere tonight? Is that too big of a white lie? Are you able to get dressed and say you thought he’d agreed to take you out? Where does he think he’s to meet him? Just incase he does get out. Does he get angry? Would any in-laws speak on the phone to gently say they had plans? It’s just so, so difficult. Especially when he wants to meet a loved one who’s deceased x

Ahhhh, tell him his brother changed his mind, need not worry , has to work and has no days off...unfortunately this ALZ world is real to him.We do the best we can. Hoping it works out. We try not to tell NELLIE to much.

I had my mom make my grandma a fidget blanket or helps. My grandma does the same thing always asking for people that have passed. I ask her questions like where do they live and I sometimes say they will be here tomorrow. I'm sorry for you and him

Luckily we both love dancing.We go out 3 nights and 2 afternoons. I think it is the best activity for him.My problem is only on the days we don't go dancing.He is never angry just insistant and repetitious. I have alot of patience .
