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.

Thank you, she was the best woman I have ever known.
So sorry for your loss. Nothing is quite like losing your mama. May the time come quickly that thoughts of her bring more laughter than tears.

Thank you, yes I am trying to focus on the good years and not the last ones of her life.
I'm sorry for your loss. The loss of a parent is heartbreaking and when that parent is also your best friend it crumbles it.
My mom also had dementia and she passed away seven years ago. There isn’t a day that goes by that she isn’t in my thoughts. Dementia changed everything, a thief that took the best part of her. All I have left are the memories and there are many. I talk about her as often as I can, it keeps her close to me. Maybe it will for you too.
