Mom had lived in a nursing home for the past three and a half years, suffering the increasing effects of dementia(老年痴呆). They were tough years, actually1for us family members than for her, I believe. She suffered very little pain in those final years, less than she reported when living in her own home.

All dementia is not alike. Mom's form2 her short-term memory more than her long-term memory. By the time she went to the nursing home, her short-term memory had3been non-existent. We learned to4our conversations with her to old things of the past. Usually, she could connect with these experiences and seemed to enjoy us talking about them. I noticed in her last year that her long-term memory was5, too. And it became even more6to engage her in conversation. In her last six months, we had very little expectation of her responding, though a few times she surprised us. Therefore, when we called her, we would just7to tell her about our lives, things we were doing, things our children and grandchildren were doing. The calls would be short. We would tell her we loved her; she would either be8or make some granting(咕哝) sounds.

Though I expect Mom's death, it was still bad news to hear. She is9. Even one-way conversations were more10than no conversations. No more calls now but we will remember her forever.
