Do you tell a person with Alzheimer’s or other form of dementia that their loved one died? Do you always lie to a person with dementia who asks about a dead spouse or loved one?What do you do if a person with dementia is grieving repeatedly? In this episode we are tackling a complex topic that is often too simplified in dementia care and often handled wrong.We discuss how the lack of grief training in dementia care can lead to increased dementia “behaviors” and the many options for how to support a person with dementia who is looking for a dead loved one. We discuss therapeutic lying (aka: therapeutic fibbing or fiblets) and the ethics behind it. You can contact Katie or Olivia and see their offerings at:Katie’s webinar on Therapeutic Lying, May 30, 2025 Olivia: linktr.ee/purplehydrangeadementiacareKatie: ⁠⁠ linktr.ee/creativeconnectionsdementia⁠⁠
