I have a phone call I have to tend to a little after 10 tomorrow

My brother indicated that I might be needed if there's any questions only I can answer at that time, it's weird folks, it's such a bonkers time for me but also i'm grateful to be speaking with another human being!!

I'll just keep resting and then i'll proper get up, I might have other kind of coffee grounds, make coffee, watch more lectures, and be ready for my dad's future.

Dad btw was saying to the nursing staff that he and his wife, (my mom) were to be going on a missions trip.

All of this talk about my mom rips me apart, I love and loved my mom, and hearing dad speak of her delusionarlily like she's still around, gahhh

I just hope dad can spend the rest of his life in relative happiness, but to hear what he says to others, I wish not to be subject to it.

I know how hard that can be I'm so sorry. I've learned to just allow them to believe that their loved one is still here because it gives them comfort. I always tell people I haven't seen or talked to their loved one when they ask. I don't try to remind them of their funerals or their deaths because I don't want them to keep reliving it. And it will never sink in they will keep asking. So when they say where's my wife etc ..I always reply I don't know, haven't talked to her.

What if this delusional rambling IS his happiness???

He might have dementia or some other condition that affects his ability to remember things accurately. As hard as it might be for you, it might be easier to just go along with his version of the "truth" rather than telling him that his wife is dead every other minute.
