My mum passed away in 2007 we knew she had dementia but were shocked by the death certificate naming AD. My dad had been in a home for 3 years with dementia,he was 83 and passed away 8th january this year. His death certificate also had AD on it.The home he was in was excellent and cared for him throughout. We did not want him to pass away in hospital and they accomodated our every wish they deserve medals! I now feel like an orphan this may sound silly, also i am struggling to come to terms with it as i am living in my parents house(i moved in to care for them 6 years ago) On top of the guilt and grief i feel, the house is to be sold as probate is needed.
