Hi all,
6 weeks ago today my dad passed away. He took his own life. He was 58, he had been under investigation for dementia, but never given a formal diagnosis. Myself & my mum think he had Lewy Body dementia with Parkinson’s.
I’m struggling to talk to talk to friends about my dads death as I feel nobody understands. I feel that people who have grieved a suicide, won’t understand as they didn’t have dementia & those who have didn’t commit suicide & died with dementia also don’t understand. I feel like this grief is completely different.
If there Is anyone out there who had someone in their life who took their own life and had dementia, please get in touch, I’d love to talk & not feel like I’m going insane.
