Hello,

My name is Elbert Denina the son of someone who has Alzheimer’s. My sister recently just passed from cancer and I’m trying to navigate how I should handle breaking the news to my mom if she asks about my sister in a daily basis. Also how should I handle bringing my mom to her funeral. I’m not sure how to handle this especially when my mom forgets my sister has passed. Any advice helps. Thank you all as I’m new to this community.
