The End

[Elizabeth92]

Hi all, just wanted to offer love and support to all you beautiful people going through this awful horrid illness. TP has been a lifeline for me.

My wonderful Nan came to the end of her journey today. My heart is broken and I feel numb - But finding comfort in knowing she has finally been released.

Thank you to everyone for their advice and kind words. We truly never know how strong we are until being strong is the only option.

Sending love to everyone xxx

Elizabeth,so sorry for your loss and pray that in the days ahead you find strength and courage for your nan's final journey, hoping that the warm memories you have about nan,before she got ill, will help you and give you a smile and remember she will always be watching over you.

Thank you. This is my first experience of loss, I don't really know how to feel right now. I'm so glad she is free from alzheimers at last and reflecting on the good times with family members is helping a lot.

Beth xx

My condolences Elizabeth. Even though you feel relief that your Nan is no longer suffering, it is so hard to come to terms with losing her. Be kind to yourself, there is no right or wrong way to grieve and no timescale either so you will go through a whole range of emotions in the days and weeks ahead. Take care and keep posting if you feel able to x

Thank You x

Thank you all so very much. Every user on here is an angel, this illness is so cruel and many would fall where you have fought on with and for your loved ones.

It has been such a long hard ride these last few years but she was such a huge part of our lives that it seems unreal that that's it now. It was a sleepless night and a very long day but only now as i finally sit here alone do i feel i can have a good cry.

I am happy she is at peace and watching her suffer was so awful for everyone. But still there's that part of me that hates that she's gone. So many visits spent saying 'one more sip' or begging her to take one more spoonful of pureed food. Like we have an inbuilt thinking that if you can get them to take some then they will continue on forever.

My family is very sad but luckily they all came together as strength for eachother despite any underlying rifts.

I don't know what to do with myself, usually spend my time researching new alzheimers issues but now i just feel lost and empty. Needless to say my mother is in bits over the loss of her mum. Atleast we all have eachother.

Thank you all again,

Beth xx

Thank you, I'm still feeling numb. This week haa been difficult watching my mum deal with all the dreaded business that has to be dealt with so quickly after someone passes.

The funeral is looming and i haven't really cried. Is this normal for grief? It hasn't sunk in yet.

Thank you for your kind wishes <3 xxxx
