      @wissox83 sorry to hear. Very much in the same boat with my mom and dementia. Spent the day with her yesterday and this is probably the last time I will see her. She is 84, and spent most of the day sleeping and drifting in and out of consciousness. Yesterday was my parents 62nd wedding anniversary. My mom was always a very anxious woman, and seemed more comfortable loving from afar. She relished the details of things she observed, took joy in them, and was very creative. Unfortunately, her creativity turned into hallucinations and fears at the end. But i remember the best of her, the beautiful observations she penned on countless postcards. Be strong my friend. We are all in this together.

        So sorry for your loss. 94 is a great life! Glad you had him around this long.

          Hope you still get a few more visits and moments to spend with your mom.

          As someone who lost his mom way too soon and without a chance to say goodbye I hope you get that opportunity or have had the chance to do so! Dementia is a terrible way to see your loved ones go

            Thanks so much for the kind words. To be honest there's little pain right now as he's been in this vicious disease for too many years. I grieved many times over the last number of years, and really let it out Thursday when he did have a lucid moment and said my name.

              My mom passed today. I’m pretty drained but she died in peace after a battle with dementia, with my brother there telling her that we love her, and we were able to visit with her often recently. In the end she was confused, but happy. RIP mom. You’ll always be with me.

                  @approxinfinity So sorry for your loss. A mother's love never waivers and she always knew your love was there for her. It's something I learned after losing mine and being a mother myself. May her memory be a blessing to you in the days ahead. ♥️🙏

                    Thanks everyone. I appreciate the well wishes; I’m good, just tired. She told me to keep up the good work. I will keep up the good work 🙂

                        @approxinfinity I know it's been rough for you lately. I don't have words for that. It's so hard to deal with that. Because you r such a good person, husband and dad, I'm sure you had great times growing up! Please tell me you did! Just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you. 😢 Take good care of yourself! 💙
