He hugged his sisters and one of his brothers and talked to them (two of his brothers didn't go to the funeral).
Now it's still weird because my nanna (dads mum) has been moved from the care home to the hospital and is very ill (she's had alzeimers for many years, don't know if theres anything else wrong though). Everyones certain she's not gonna make it out. My mum and I are hoping my dad will go see her. I don't want the same thing to happen that did with my grandpa. My mum was thinking maybe she's hanging on for him. I don't know what to think about that.
ONe of my neighbours told us about one of her relatives who had alzeimers and was in hospital. Her son was really hesitant to go and visit her but was eventually persuaded. When he got there, she recognised him and told him she missed him.
Oh I don't know, my heads a bit all over the place about all this.

sending lots of hugs and warm wishes to you hunny.............l hear all your pain and confusion..........It was good that your Dad was able to go to the funeral and sometimes as hard as these things are it helps us to see the finality of things and also hopefully it may help your Dad to decide if he should visit his Mom now that she is so sick. Some may say well she will not know( maybe she will)) but one thing that is important is that your Dad will know and so will you hunny..................its always very hard to watch someone who is suffering from Alzheimers try to think about what YOU want and need hunny and l hope the rest will follow for you and give you some clarity and some inner peace within you

Love always
