A little late reading this buZZsaw BRAD Having just gone through a pet loss of our own makes one realize how much they become part of the family. Keep the good memories near to your heart.
Aunt Margaret passed day before thanksgiving; not really sad due to quality of life she had. Dementia and didn’t recognize her own children. I guess I am grieving stage of life where more family GTG are for funerals than weddings or baby showers
That is always such a shame when demtia sets in. They seem to become a different person. I also agree about family GTG. In my case there are only a couple cousins that are older than I. I guess this means we are now the older generations.
Sorry for your loss. MIL passed a year ago and her sister (aunt) has had dementia for about 10 years. My older sister also has dementia. We're all taking care of each other.
It was a blessing when my Dad passed at the beginning of the year. He had full blown Alzheimer's and was a vegetable for the last several months. At that point, he didn't even know how to swallow food that was spoon fed to him. I grieved that the once very smart man was reduced to that state, but could not grieve his passing at all.
