I so do wish I had known this, and been more certain about the afterlife when my mother passed in 2009. She also had advanced dementia. She was 89 when she passed. Her dementia was complicated by other health issues (huge aortic aneurysm, suspected ovarian cancer, tumours on the liver etc.) She had no idea she was so ill, and was generally cheerful.
Anyway, it was obvious she didn't have long to live, one way or another, so the doctor found her a place in a very nice Hospice during that summer.
Nothing much she said made any sense, when it concerned everyday life though she could quote reams of text from Shakespeare, word-perfect, and remembered words of songs I couldn't recall. But her general grasp of anything cognitive wasn't there.
Anyway, one day when I visited her at the Hospice, our conversation was the usual mish-mash of things that didn't make much sense....then suddenly, out of the blue she told me my father had been to visit her (she could not normally remember him, his name, or even remember being married) She told me he sat on the bed, and they had a chat. Then he smiled, held her hand and said "Why don't you come with me now? Come on." "Oh no", she replied, "I can't go just yet. There's something I have to do. But I won't be long." He said he'd wait for her.
As soon as she told me that, she was immediately back to her incomprehensible conversation. Her lucidity lasted only a couple of minutes.
She passed two weeks after that.
Now, with hindsight, I am absolutely convinced he came for her, she recognised that with the part of her that was NOT damaged by brain malfunction, and that he knew she would be just fine if she crossed over. I am also convinced he did wait for her and she was okay.
I did not have any contact with either of them for four years. Then suddenly I felt a flood of love from my mother and knew that she was absolutely fine.
