Today, at my grandmother's funeral, my senile grandfather kept asking me "Where's granny? I've been looking for her, but I can't find her." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my grandmother yet again asked where my grandfather is. She refuses to believe us when we tell her that he passed away 6 years ago. She always insists that he's out cheating on her and accuses us of lying to cover his arse. FML
Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML
Today, during my uncle's funeral, my four year old loudly asked, "Where's all the dead people?" FML
Today, at our usual family gathering, Big Grandpa, the family patriarch, said with his loud super authoritative voice, "Hey! Where is granddaughter?" I responded, "Here, Grandpa!" He then disgruntledly yelled, "NO! I meant my PRETTY granddaughter!" FML
Today, at my grandparent's funeral, we were waiting for the pastor. He was fashionably late because he couldn't find his sunglasses and had gone to buy new ones. FML
Today, I went to a family funeral. Talking to my grandfather, trying to chitchat, he said, "You're gaining weight, aren't you?" FML
Today, after my 5-year-old finally got over his grandmother's death, we went to a store and saw a lady that looked exactly like her. She came up to us asking if we saw her grandson; I can't get my son to stop freaking out. FML
Today, my grandpa died. I called my grandma to make sure she was going to be fine. After talking over the phone for 30 minutes or so, I told her goodbye and said, out of habit, "Say hi to grandpa for me". FML
Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. FML
Today, at the end of my great grandmother's funeral, her daughter (my grandma) told me and my mother that she doesn’t have a reason to come back and visit anymore, and that everyone in her life is now gone. FML

I feel you real hard. My fiancee's grandma was hospitalized and put in a nursing home after her bones became too spongy and her legs broke. Her grandpa can't take care of her, hence the nursing home, but visits her everyday. Since she's been in the nursing home, her mind has been going. We went to see her a couple times, and the whole time she just asks "where's Nash at? He was just here." or otherwise keeps asking everyone's names and how they've been every few minutes. The only person she seems to remember anymore is Nash, the grandpa, and only seems happy when he's there. When he is there it's still basically the same though. Every few minutes she welcomes him and asks him how he's been and then scolds him for selling her jewelry, which he didn't. He just sits in there for hours, answering the same few questions over and over, with the saddest look on his face, meanwhile she lays in her bed, just as happy as can be to see him. I'd only ever met them a few times, and only once before she was put in the nursing home, but it's still one of the most heart wrenching things I've ever witnessed.
