Whilst it's still quite true that my feelings confuse me by being somewhat "blank" I am starting to experience thoughts that I'm scared about. I find myself thinking who I should be grieving for. Is it my Mum before Alzheimer's, my Mum after Alzheimer's etc or a combination of both. I don't know the answer right now and feel in a strange limbo. I wonder if anyone else has thought this. Thanks for reading.
I don't know who to grieve for.

When you grieve for someone with dementia it is complicated.
You are grieving both for the person they became and the person they were, but you are also grieving the lost years, the dreams and plans of what would have been.
Be gentle with yourself. Allow your body and mind to grieve in their own way. There is no right or wrong way to do this. I felt numb for months after mums death.
