How would you interact with my grandmother?

Asked by SuperMouse (30845points) February 16th, 2009

My grandmother turned 91 yesterday. Though she has her lucid moments, she does suffer from dementia and regularly shares some very wild stories. Yesterday between telling me about her seven brothers (true) and four sons (also true), she told me how she is married to the richest man in the world and has three other husbands. Would you encourage her to share more even though you know it is all in her mind, or would you try to bring her back to reality by sharing true stories of her life?
