Just lost my mother a few days ago. 87 years old with the last 8 years incrementally lost to Alzheimer’s. Miserable way to leave this life.
Dementia is perhaps the most cruel disease.
You have my empathy.
My mom had dementia in her last years, dying in her 90s.
My best friend was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia at the age of 34. The next week, he and his wife found out that she was pregnant with their first child. He lived for 7 more years. By the end, I was so happy (for everyone involved) when he passed away. It was horrible...
Same here. My mother passed in February at age 92 and had suffered from Alzheimers and dementia.
It makes me ponder my future.
It must be very frightening. I live near people with Alzheimers and it is so sad.
So sorry for the loss of your Mom.
Deepest Sympathy
Sorry to hear about your mother. I lost my mom to Alzheimer’s some years back. My dad had passed from prostate cancer about six years earlier, and I believe that Alzheimer’s was a worse way to go. At least my dad had his wits about him until about two days before he died, and mercifully slipped into a coma.
