THIS is what I am worried about.
For Okaasan...and millions of others.
We hope she isn't really aware of the huge changes in life around her. But we don't know. And maybe it's a kind of comforting lie, the throw away joke..."well, at least she doesn't know whether we've been to see her, or not".
But I do believe, that at some level, she knows.
Knows that there have been less smiley faces.
Knows that there has been less variety in a day.
Knows that life is quieter.
If you have time, I recommend this read from the BBC News website
Dementia deaths up during pandemic
