Alzheimer patients have moments, brief, at random times, where lucidity seems to be there for a bit. This could certainly happen in the moments before or day before dying, and for family this might seem meaningful when it happens. But there is not any kind of connection between the things. Patients just get worse over time until they die.
- merpnderp 5y agoNot sure why you're being downvoted. I spent years visiting family in Alzheimers wards and this was my experience too. Some days patients would have a brief moment of clarity, but usually it was just the typical symptoms. For instance the sister for a famous (for the state) news reporter would seem to come out of it a bit to talk about her sister, but mostly she just walked along the walls, tracking the trim with her fingers and mumbling to herself.
