Lovely mum has died

[lollipoprainbow]

My darling mum has had dementia for five years. It has been so hard seeing her fade away and I j feel like I lost her a long time ago. Seeing her suffer has been awful and I have been willing for her to be at peace. Now she has finally gone, I thought I would feel relieved but I'm devastated.

I’m so sorry, sending love through this difficult time

Sending you a big hug OP ❤️❤️

I’m so sorry. My own mum died last year from dementia. I recognise a lot of your emotions. It’s very confusing.
Do you have any support or someone to look after you today?

Sending you a massive hug. My lovely mum died 2 weeks ago and I was also willing an end to her suffering. I am planning in lots to keep myself busy because I find I'm worse if I have time to be alone. Do you have siblings?

thinking of you . Even when the end is expected it is so hard x

So sorry op 💐

Thanks all, yes I have support, a sibling etc. I feel a bit better now I am organizing the funeral etc. it was her time to go but feel angry that the last few years of her life were ruined by the wretched dementia.

It's awful, isn't it. My and I are watching Midsomer Murders at the moment and she struggles to understand any of it. Apart from her mind, she's in such good health. Somehow that makes it even worse. I wonder all the time how much longer we can keep her at home and how long she has. It breaks my heart at the thought of losing her. (Even if she does drive me mad with the nonsense she says and does! 😔 )

I'm so sorry to hear your news. My lovely MIL endured this terrible illness too and sadly passed away. Thinking of you all. X

My mum suffered the same fate. Wonderfully intelligent lady who developed dementia aged 90 and then had 3 horrendous years before she died. It's so painful looking into the face of someone who has always loved you but now doesn't have a clue who you are.

So sorry
