RE: There Is No Better Way To Die Than This—RIP Dad!

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Thank you for your words. You gut me at the point when you talked about dementia. My beloved grandmother died on the sunday of easter 2016. It was very hard to see her mind getting more and more destroyed. Leaving just a body... without her mind and all the things I loved about her.

In my heart she is still my loving grandmother.
And that´s how everybody should try to keep the loved ones in mind.
Sadly, the images of the last days are kinda burnt into my brain. And I have to concentrate to think about her, how she was years before.
THAT was my grandmother!

Not the "body" what dementia turned her into...

Thank you. Dad's gone now. But he became very peaceful towards the end. Just let go. He was always there for me. Even at the end with dementia taking its toll. Don't know what I might have done to get such a wonderful person as him for my father. But I am truly thankful.
