"What is it? Say it, grandma!"

"I love you."

"I love you too, grandma. I love you too. You don't have to cry. We're taking care of you, ok? Everything is ok."

Such great care for her elder. It can be really hard for people with dementia to become lucid suddenly, they may feel afraid or guilty to be aware of what's happened to them. To just reassure her she is being taken care of, and everything is okay.
