I guess I will feel relief that her suffering is over, she was terrified of dementia and being besides, though at the moment I just feel grief and loss. It was shockingly fast—just under a month from when she fell.

I am so sorry, OP. But having gone through a similar quick decline with my mom last year st the holidays, it is a blessing she is no longer in pain. A broken pelvis is painful and with dementia they don’t really understand what is going on, which makes the pain harder. Now you have taken her pain and made it yours, but you did the right thing for her.
