I have 6 cousins who are foster cousins (my aunt and uncle are unable to have children). They are in the process of adopting them right now :) As an outsider, what can I do to make it easier on them? What is something you think cousins/aunts/uncles can do to make the transition easier? (Their ages are 2, 5, 6, 6, 13, and 15)

My grandmother is currently showing signs of dementia and/or Alzheimer's. She is constantly repeating herself, and just the other day she left me 3 desperate notes with her phone number just in case I needed it. She then proceeded to tell me that Ashley (my cousin) just bought a house (she's known this for over a year. The worst example, was at Christmas last year) when she was mixing up the grandchildren's names (30 year olds shes known for their entire lives). What is the best way to deal with this? Do I ignore it and just go along, or do I talk to her about it?

Edit. Punctuation.

As sad as it is, she calls me every morning, even though I live downstairs, to say good morning and tell me that she loves me :) She's the best. One thing she hasn't lost, is her ability to bake. She remembers every recipe by heart, and has taught me everything I know about baking.

Thank you for your advice :) I recently moved in with her because "we needed a place to live" (My family decided it was best if one of us grand kids came to live with her, and we used my boyfriend and I going to school near her as an excuse to move in). She does drive, though not for long. She isn't very old, late 70's (so still a youngin' by many standards), but the deterioration I've seen in just a few months is scary. She has always been a very strong, independent woman, and I think confronting her would make her angry.

Do you think that 10 years from now, people will remember Aaron*?Do you think his story will be taken positively, or in a more negative light?

Edit: *Remember Aaron for what he was trying to do.
