My Mum, Eileen lived with dementia for 6 years, she lost her fight with life on 14th August 2012. Her funeral was on 28th August (Bank holiday delayed)

This is the first time I have been on here for a while, I feel strangely liberated and yet lost too.
Mum was in a care home since 2007 but, I did visit several times each week. I miss her and miss looking out for her.
On the other hand - I feel happy she is no longer in pain, worried or wandering.

Just one spray of flowers on her coffin and then donations to Carlton Ward, St Mary's Hospital the staff and the help I had from there were both fantastic. In total we donated £300 in memory of Mum XXX ]]> Janeyjane http://forum.alzheimers.org.uk/entry.php?3655-Mum-Died Mum http://forum.alzheimers.org.uk/entry.php?3367-Mum Wed, 27 Jun 2012 19:01:08 GMT Well any help appreciated - Mum has been assessed by salts team - swallowing poor and often failing everything thickened to Blancmange consistency.
