[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry. I hope I am not making things worse. As someone who got have her dad until the bitter end of dementia I can tell you it is an awful, gut-wrenching end filled with suffering and no independence at all. So I hope their is even a tiny bit of solace of knowing he didn't have to face that level of suffering. I will tell you I felt relief that he was finally at a peaceful place.

I will tell you this too, I feel strongly that my dad sends me messages and it brings me tremendous comfort. You may want to read up on that sort of thing. I never thought I'd be someone who thinks she has a relationship with a parent who has passed away, but the messages are pretty strong and it really helps me.[/quote]

I'm so sorry for your loss too but honestly, it is better off this way vs. spending years in a facility and no quality of life.  After watching my MIL suffer in a Medicaid facility for years, her death was sadly a blessing as she suffered so and couldn't do the basic functions without full assistance.  She wouldn't have wanted to live that way.[/quote]
