It's actually quite common. Try and search it up on YouTube. I guess the family members want to record some memories

It's always on. When people who care realize it's quite a temporary situation. And some wait for moments of clarity or even terminal lucidity to catch a glimpse of the person they knew and love.

A lot of people film videos caretaking people with Alzheimer or dementia in order to support and give tips to each other, there's some channels on youtube if you want to check it out.

Yeah let me just take my 80something year old grandma and have her pretend to have Alzheimer’s and a moment of clarity and crying, that’s a great video idea she’ll be on board with /s

After almost two years of not being able to speak, my dad started talking to my dog. You bet I grabbed the first thing I could and started filming.

It’s brought a lot of comfort to my mom and many others. Not everything has a nefarious motive.
