Reply to comment by greenlemons105 in My nans getting dementia, sort of sad sort of funny by mistermaster415

It sort of is, our family has always been the type to laugh at our misfortunes, and nan did the same with her mother. She laughs with us, we all dont take things to heart

My mom called me one time and said “Well… your grandma is pregnant.” She then went on to tell me my grandma said she was pregnant and my mom told her “Mother, you haven’t had a uterus in over twenty years.” We laughed.

I also have a family that chooses to laugh over crying. Sometimes we do both. Best to you and your nan.

Mine is the same way.

When my grandma was dying (at home on hospice) and hadn’t been lucid for days my aunt and I were trying to roll her over. We were *awful at it and couldn’t stop laugh-crying. My aunt said “I bet if you’d known this is how things were gonna end up you wouldn’t have grounded me so much mom!” And my grandma started laughing 😂

We never heard her speak again but that laugh meant SO much to us.
