Jacko I am so sorry for your loss.

I hope it brings you peace to know she is in peace now.

Beat wishes, an old chat friend.

You have my sympathies. I went through the same 7 months ago.

My sincere condolences

Thoughts are with you mate

Sorry for your loss
Condolences to you and your family


I know it'll happen one day and I'm dreading it as mine's always been there for me through thick and thin..

Sorry to hear that Graham.
Our thoughts are with you.

Condolences. Dementia is rotten.

Yes we lost our Mum a few years ago from fast acting dementia. Twelve weeks from looking after herself to passing away. Horrible to see. My thoughts are with you.

Thank you very much for your post's

Now for all the paper work and organizing to start on Monday
thanks again

Graham

Sorry to hear that jacko
I lost mine 20 years ago, I wasn't there when she died, that still weighs heavily.

I am sorry to hear that and hope you were able to spend time with her in the last weeks/months.

It's horrible to lose someone very close but it makes you realise how precious our families are.

Sorry to hear that, thankfully i've had no direct experience of dementia in my family to date, for which I am extremely grateful.

When my grandmother died (with whom my father had had a fractious relationship) he cried as we came out of the church after the funeral. I said "I am sorry" to him, he said "I'm crying for the relationship we never had". That made me think (and has ever since - it was 14 years ago), I can tell you.

Sorry to hear this!

Thanks all again
I don.t know where i would be without Kathryn my wife helping do all the paper work ,organizing ,telephoning etc

a big thank's goes to her
Graham

So sorry to hear that Graham, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Thanks Paul
i hope all is well at your end

Not really mate, I feel your pain, my Dad's got terminal cancer, he's only got a few months, so spending alot of my time with him and my Mum, but life must go on, although it's very hard.
It's no fun getting older, seeing your loved one's in pain😢

My sympathies mate. Having seen my Mom go from a strong independent woman (who had been everything from a farmer, diamond prospector, hunter, fisherman and someone who could put a spanner to anything and never allowed her gender to limit her activities and yet was always a loving mother and wife and real lady) to a helpless, paranoid stranger who didn't recognise us, was very very hard indeed.

She was also the best driver around - everybody who spent any time in a car with her driving would comment on how well she drove - very fast but always safe and fully in control.
