Guest guest Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hello All I had a report today from my moms health care aid that for the first time in 2 yrs today my mother who is on home hospice care started crying! out of the blue - for no apparent reason ! It broke my heart! My mother is completely mute and cognitively gone - totally dependent on 24/7 care for all her ADLs. Doesn't recognize us! We feel relief - perhaps she is unaware of what's happening! Over the last months I talk to her as if she could still understand - I tell her things like - the parkinsons ( not LBD ) has gotten worse - I assure her we are ok and how loved she is - what a wonderful mom she is and was ! I often tear up - yet she always stares at the tv and seems not to comprehend ! I wonder if anyone could give me any insight into what would make someone in late stage LBD cry for no apparent reason ?? Thank you! Judy R.
