Hard. Sad. Relief. Loving. Loss. Memories.
Writing about our path with Lewy honestly highlighted some of the devastating symptoms while Burt declined. Dementia is sad and hard. The patient, the loved one, my Burt’s death was the only relief from the relentless path of dementia.
My log of our days during the disease is also here to help others in this situation. I had many suggestions to help deal.
My caregiving ended with Burt’s passing on February 25th. If my caregiving was without a doubt a work-in-progress, my grieving is a new kind of struggle.
I am sure however it unfolds for me that I am grieving perfectly. If you are in mourning as I am, I know you, too, are doing it just right!
