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.

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.

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.

Farewell to your mom. She sounds like a wonderful person, who raised a wonderful daughter. She left her legacy in you. I'm sure she was incredibly proud of you. I'm sorry she had to live with dementia. It is a hard disease to battle.

Awww, thank you. Its a horrible disease and no one should have to "live" like that.

So sorry for your loss. Also a bit jealous that you had a wonderful relationship with your mom. Those memories will stay with you and keep her alive in you.
Condolences to you and your family.

I did, we shared everything! Thank you.

A little relieved?

Yes, very much so actually. She was gone a long time ago, if you know what I mean.

@Presley1209 yes

My sincere condolences. People lose a lot when they have dementia but they never lose emotions. Love remains

I'm very sorry about your mom. When mine passed several years ago, one thing I was told that has stuck with me and proven itself to be true is, "you'll never get over it, but you will get through it." I think you have a great support group here, don't be afraid to use it if you need it.

I love that line! Thank you for sharing it, its very profound.

It's sad to know that your beloved mother is no longer with you. I know the pain you feel, since I lost mine many years ago, (she was only 40..) but you know what? Count on me, if you need me...! Quetiendote

Thank you so much!

2

Tiu will miss her, but you have so many memories of her that will warm your heart as long as you live.

That is so true! Thank you.

How lucky you both were to be together when she left this world. The pain will pass eventually and your loving memories will stay with you forever.

Yes, I was happy I was by her side. She was so special to so many people. Thank you.

I am sorry for your loss. My mother too died from complications of dementia, so I understand the harship she endured.

Isn't it awful? I feel we are all freed of this disease. Thank you.

I am surely sorry for you.I guess you and I have a date in common . My daughter killed herself 3 years ago yesterday. I share this not for pity or to make you fell bad. I was a zombie for 18 months. Losing a close loved one is so very difficult. You have my heart and my sou filled with positive energy. I know what it is. My Day died 2 yrs ago this May. My Mom got sick, but she came around. She is 88. Yes, she plans on being with Dad in Heaven. I am sure they will be together whereever they are. My daughter Wendy is gone, but lives in my heart.

Oh, that is so sad, I am sorry you have to live with that pain each day. I know mama is better off now.
