[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 548685, member: 84"] Hmm. They actually might [B]be[/B] talking with those who have crossed over. I'm sure docs wouldn't agree with me, but I've spent my entire life with the elderly........and until raising a family of my own, a lot of years in nursing homes as well. (mom had sitter issues and took us along, she worked and I went visiting lol ) Now I offer no opinion on the other planets deal........but the dead relatives, I've just always as long as I could remember just accepted they'd come to visit them. Makes sense in an odd way because a nursing home environment is a rather obvious last step in most cases.......and dementia removes most inhibitions about such things. mother in law was sharp as a tack up until the last day she was able to be verbal (medications kept her sedated after that) and she often told father in law to step closer she couldn't hear him, and would ask us if we could see him too. She'd just smile and say he looked so very handsome. And I knew he'd come to wait with her, not to just visit, but to be there to take her hand when she crossed over. mother in law was not confused even at that point, lemme tell you. And over the years, I've seen many many more of such things. Now I dunno with your aunt wanting her address and such, that might just be forgetting her mom had passed which would be just dementia. It is hard to watch though. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
