It looks like my mother thinks my father is waiting for us at the hospital again. He died there over 15 years ago. She was there when it happened. She has become very agitated. When I would not take her, she tried calling the police. Then she wanted to see her neighbor. Fortunately this neighbor was home who she is visiting now.

Has anyone dealt with this before? How can I deal with my mother better who has this persistent delusion? I have locked the door preventing her from trying to walk to the hospital, which she has tried to do in the past. I have tried ton help her remember and even showed her the urn that contains my fathers ashes. She keeps telling me that she knows he is at the hospital.

I have sat her down and turned on the music channel that is on cable TV. This may relax her. Hopefully she may forget what she is upset about.
