My grandfather has Alzheimers and never remembers me or anyone in his family. I’m not sure what to talk to him about now that we don’t have that connection anymore. He is in a nursing home and I go have lunch w/him once a week but its hard to know what to say since he doesn’t know me, my kids, my parents or much about life in general. Don’t want to just sit there and look at him either. I know others have dealth w/this….what did you do?
