in Caring for a Parent

Hi. My mom has been non verbal for the last year or so. She is end stage. Puréed food, bed/chair bound, help with everything. The past few visits she’s been trying to say something. It’s just weird. Anyone have this happen? I am not sure what to do, if anything. TIA

    It is not at all unusual for a PWD to have trouble communicating, regardless of what stage. If you see that there is really no other issue, I would just 'agree' with her, maybe tell her you're on it, and that you are watching out for her.
