My husband suffered from delusions for a few days but they made him very happy.I wonder if our temperament and way of life can influence us should we ever get delusions?
He was very frail.I was in the kitchen and he came to me and said
It’s so wonderful being with you.
This was not something he said very often!
I replied, but you are with me always
No, he said,I am usually with Katherine
I realised then he was seeing his mother.
Since he looked so happy I didn’t contradict him despite one of his close friends telling me I should.I have known people with odd minds and I am ok with it.
The only problem was that he began to ask questions
Where is Dad?
Why have you not remarried [ looking at me with glowing affection and admiration
Where did you go for your honeymoon?
Why did your boss have a wooden leg [I worked out it must have been WW1
Anyway for about 3 days he remained like this until the antibiotics worked
I was glad to know how much he had loved his mother.And if he was happy why should I argue?He might have suffered distress and was already very ill
How my heart sings
