So true. She was lucky/blessed that her mind was sharp until about her last week on earth.
Then she began talking to people we couldn’t see, forgiving some (for what? IDK), scolding some, entertaining some in the living room. My angel SIL who cared for her would rearrange furniture at Mom’s direction to make room for her “visitors”.
I've heard about this. God bless your SIL.
I had a brief experience with a BIL passing and talking to my mom who had proceeded him by a couple of months.
