My beloved mum has advanced dementia and it's gutting me from the inside out. My dad is lovely and we both look after her with the help of carers. I have no partner or siblings and my mum has always been my confidante - it makes me feel so alone. And of course it's agonising to see her suffering and screaming and afraid, her dementia is not peaceful at all. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? She's still here but I am already knee deep in grief.
