Hi friends. My mom passed away yesterday. I was by her side when she went, with my brother and 2 of his daughters. I've lost my best friend but am okay because she is no longer battling dementia. She was a incredible woman and I am proud to have been her daughter.

You are very kind. Thank you.
Wow, what a loss! Moms can be such a huge part of our entire lives. I am sorry that you had to walk the dementia path with her and that she is now gone. I wish you strength as you learn a new way, moving forward.

Aww, thank you! She's finally at peace now so I am happy for her.
I ran a dementia support group for years so know the heartbreak you have been thru. She will always be no further away than your heart, cherish only her good memories and let the rest go. Take care!

Thank you and we are. I had a hard time remembering old memories cuz the last 6 years have been so difficult. You give good advice and I thank you.
Condolences on the loss of your mother. Dementia is horrible. My Dad's currently in the late stage of this despicable disease

Oh, I feel for you, truly. Its not an easy road. I wish you strength to get thru it. Thanks for your kind words.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I think you're looking at it the right way - my grandmother, having spent most of her life alone after her husband died when she was still young, was fiercely independent and proud of it; in her last few years her health prevented that and she hated it, so it was in a way a relief when she went.

Yes it is a relief. Many years of heartbreak watching her decline. Thank you.
Sorry, for your lose. Having a mother in law in care suffering from dementia I completely understand those mixed feelings.

So difficult when the mind slips between realities.

Thank you and I will now.
Very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad last year after a brief illness, and I am now just a year later about to accept the fact, that he is no more.
I wish you a speedy recovery from your loss!
