My 80 year old Grandmother seems to have a personality change. What can cause this? Her reality is off.?

Grandma separated from a 20 year relationship from her 2nd man, but he was very ill and we had to put him in a nursing home. Grandma was very disturbed,and her language with & about her ex., became vulgar. She now talks about him in negative light. Example: He steals from her: her food, soap, belongs and such daily. He lives in her attic. Sneaks into her house daily. She continues to say he sleeps with the young women in the neighborhood and takes advantage of the young children. Which we know is all lies. Her ex is in a nursing home and can barely breath. He is oxygen dependent. In her mind it is all true, and she gets upset if we don't believe her. What is wrong with her brain? She sometimes she can focus on reality, but 1/2 of the time she is off her rocker and continues to slander her ex. Of course, she won't go into a nursing home. What can we do with her when money is in short supply? The kids bring her food daily, but she says she hasn't eaten in 4 days. We are just frustrated with her. Help..
