Mum had dementia and I took her car keys away. She demanded I return them. I lied and said I didn't have them, but I'd help her find them. Every morning like the movie Groundhog Day we'd play out the same scene. My cousin called it "gentle deception" but it felt like a lie to me.
@fesshole my friends nan had it before she passed, friend said the main thing was she always thought she needed coffee, when she passed they found about 200 jars of coffee in house.
