My mom passed away 12 wks ago after a 9 year battle with early onset dementia she was 59 when she passed away. Today has been a really bad day I feel so cheated loosing my mom she lost the power of speech 2 years before she died just before that she stopped recognising me I feel I have grieved once whilst my mom was here and now I'm grieving again the pain is unbearable everyone thinks I should be 'grateful' my mom has gone as it has given me my life back I feel so lost as as we'll as working full time I cared for my mom before and after work every day and looked after her on my day off Thursday all day. I feel really angry at the mo me and my mom where so close I'm an only child so have no support in someone that knows how I feel. I'm worried about my dad as he's putting on a brave face but know he's dying inside. Sorry for going on but not been a good day today Marie x
