On Thursday my sister's Grandmother was really mean. I help take care of her. She has started forgetting things and easily getting confused. My own Grandmother died 8 years ago. I was very close to my Grandmother. Everyone says I was her favorite grandchild. When I left my sister's house I was mad with how her Grandmother treated me. When I got home I was crying. When I was standing in my apartment I swear I heard my Grandmother say my name. I live alone and when I heard my name I jumped and instantly looked behind me. Is it possible for that to happen? I've seen my Granddaddy since he died. My niece saw my Grandmother when she was little. She never knew my Grandmother. My niece's first room was my Grandmother's bedroom. Grandmother loved children. So I think that's why my niece saw her. Is it possible I heard my Grandmother say my name or was I so upset I imagined it? She always knew when I was upset. I could never hide it from her.

I can't comment on whether you did or didn't hear her but do you feel better for having felt her presence?

On the topic of your sister's grandmother, if she is forgetting things and getting confused this could be frightening for her, she may be lashing out rather than angry at you personally. Could you maybe let another trusted family member know about the memory lapses/angry behaviour?

At first when I heard my name it scared me. Then when I realized it was my Grandmother I did feel better. She always tried to make me feel better when I was upset. I do honestly think she knew I was hurt and upset. I also think she did the only thing she could to let me know she was here and that was to say my name.

My sister & her husband know about her Grandmother's mood changes. She lives with them. I am there when neither of them are at home. Monday I heard her lash out at my sister.

On Monday at dinner her Grandmother didn't want anything I made. Everyone else loved what I made.

I never thought about it like that. You do have a very good point. I'm not surprised my niece saw her. She and I are so much a like. I hear from my mom & my sister how much my niece is like me. Just like me she is very sensitive. I do think that is one reason she saw my Grandmother.
