Verdun I'm pleased to hear, and absolutely no pun intend that your Mum has now got hearing devices and hope that she now seems more able to communicate with the staff and appreciate your best jokes x
Best wishes to everyone with worries over loved ones.
Verdun - I don't doubt for a moment those things occurred. I've never experienced anything supernatural and like you tend to look for rational explanations. But there are things science cannot explain. Though I don't wish to hijack this thread by going off at a tangent, perhaps another thread on that subject.
I posted on this thread a while ago about my sister not speaking to me. it was over her son being foul mouthed to me, its been over 2 months. well now she wants me to see her and our mum, whos old and been really worried by this. off course I will, ive tried many times to get in touch,apologise,even when I did nothing wrong!!
thing is, mum said she doesn't want to talk about what happened, and we should "put it behind us and move on". I just think its weird,dont most people talk about what happened? off course I want to move on,but to not speak about it?!I don't see how we can have our old relationship back,we confided in each other about many personal things.
Sometimes talking about things won't make it any better and might make it worse. I imagine that your mother feels that if you talk about it with her she might have to take sides, and she doesn't want to do that.
Sometimes in families things happen or are said that upset us. We just have to agree to disagree about that particular thing and move on. It doesn't mean that you don't love each other.

Wise words Dove, its very hard for your Mum Claire.
But I do think your nephew owes you an apology. I would expect that at least and maybe you can go from there. Could you see your sister and nephew first to smooth things over maybe on neutral ground. Then all meet up together with your Mum.
Claire at times it's difficult to put things behind us especially when we feel we have been wronged, but try and see it as an attempt by your sister to be close again. As they say time does heal and the things you and your sister shared will return. I'm sure neither of you wants mum to continue being upset. When you meet up, smile even if you are grinding your teeth and give her a hug. Dwelling on the fall out will only make you upset and possibly ill. Hope all goes well
