Part 2 - THE DO LIST
Say “do you remember?” This can cause anger or embarrassment.
Argue. If they say something that’s not correct, just let it go.
Point out mistakes. It just makes them feel badly and doesn’t help the conversation.
Assume they don’t remember anything. Many people have moments of clarity.
Take mean or nasty things they say personally. The disease may twist their words or make them react badly out of confusion, frustration, fear, or anger.
Talk down to them. They aren’t children and you should show the proper respect.
Talk about them with other people as if they’re not there.
