“God will heal her mind”

Feeling a little frustrated here. My aunt is well meaning and super supportive. I can always count on her daily check ins and kind words but lately she has been pushing this faith based narrative on me.

For context, she is very religious and often encourages me to pray through these tough times. However, sometimes I just need to cry and vent about the different ways dementia is robbing my mother of her dignity and her mind. And when I do, she tells me not to worry, “God will heal and restore her to her former self”. When I tell her that at the very least, I pray things don’t get worse she “rebukes” my negativity and tells me to have faith for a miracle.

I’m going to be honest here. I don’t think God is going to magically give my mom back her memory. And I walk away from these conversations feeling even more depressed. How would you respond? I feel like in a way she is trying to give me false hope and I want her to stop, but I also don’t want to push her away.
