This is a true event but the names have been changed by request.
Jane who is a nurse was working on the elderly dementia patients ward one evening, when the buzzer went off in the bathroom so she went in to attend to the patient, while she was helping him he said to her” how’s your brother” and she replied, “who” ? He said, “your brother, your brother John”, she asked how he knew her brother and did he come from up country? Just then someone knocked on the bathroom door and all conversation was sadly lost.
The next day when his wife came in the nurse said to her did you ever live up in the North as your husband claims he knows my brother! Oh no we never have she said but ever since he has had dementia he has been able to speak to lots of people that has passed on including my own Father.
You see John, Jane’s brother died when he was just a young boy.
