Words do not come easily but on Monday morning I watched as my lovely mum slipped from this world into a more peaceful dementia free one. As you may know my mum had been in hospital for many weeks and we were almost on the point of putting her into a nursing home when her heart decided it had had enough and from last Thursday she was in 'end of life care'. I sat by her bedside for 4 days the longest and hardest 4 days of my life but I had time to say goodbye and her last days were spent listening to the banter of her children and her favourite musical songs. In a way it couldn't have been better. I say that but the other great sadness of the past few days was not having dad there who having Alzheimer's himself would not have understood or coped with our grief. Thank you for your help with my posts over the past few months. Mum never deserved her final 9 weeks in hospital or her final year being separated from my dad but she is at peace now and knowing when I speak to her she can actually understand me now puts a smile on my face at a very difficult time.
Now I only have one parent with Alzheimers....mum passed away
