Should I tell her?

Question

My grandma doesn’t know her son died. She has severe memory issues (forgot what it’s called). Her memory has gotten so bad she didn’t even remember her son when he was alive. His funeral is next week. Do we tell her? I think she’ll have a hard time comprehending

Answer

I wouldnt unless she asks. No need to further disturb her mental health or health in general.

Answer

No. Honestly, it wouldn’t really matter. She’d forget in time and ask about him again and you’d have to tell her over and over for her to relive it. I wouldn’t tell her.

Answer

No, from experience I say this. My grandmother asked about her son, when he would visit, and I reminded her that he had passed ten+ years ago and it just set her off on a bad couple days.

Answer

I wouldn’t. My grandma passed in July and we still haven’t told my grandpa. He has severe Alzheimer’s. He asks about her and stuff but if we told him he would forget soon after and ask about her again. It’s heartbreaking telling him that she’s okay when she’s gone but we don’t want to constantly have to tell him that she passed.

Answer

Honestly i wouldn’t tell her unless she asks. If she has severe mental issues it could possibly throw her off even more or she will think you are lying.
