My dearest mum passed away on December 4th, I was with her at the end,she died in my arms. The end was awful especially the last 5 weeks when she stopped eating and drinking,she had aspiration pneumonia which is a terrible thing to witness. The whole journey of mums Alzheimer’s has been so distressing she was in care for 4 years, and in that time I also lost my dad to cancer. We moved them both in with us but mums Alzheimer’s got worse and she went into nursing home. the grief I’m feeling is overwhelming,
I try to take comfort in the knowledge my mum knew us right to the end, Alzheimer’s gave us a different mum all she ever wanted from us was lots of kisses and us just to be by her side and hold her hands, which my sister and I did. I used to go nearly every day to be with her for some of the day. I just don’t know how to go on without her my heart is broken .
The worst part is the feelings I have about all my poor mum went through with this terrible illness, she was such an amazing lady ,the end of her life has been so sad ,so long so undignified and so unfair, I can’t stop thinking about the sadness of it.
