@trishaanderson, it’s pretty rough. Honestly…..I haven’t processed it yet. I keep feeling like he’s still around. So surreal. I’ve gone to the grave everyday since the funeral, yet it doesn’t seem real. Idk. I’m considering contacting my therapist for some new sessions.

My mom is really suffering. She cries a lot and isn’t well physically. Recent heart monitor shows issues. So, following up with that.

But, overall as a family (kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, etc,) we are ok. Thanks for asking. Losing a parent is not like I ever expected, no matter the age.

Dementia can progress slowly and then rapid decline. My dad was gone so quickly once he couldn’t walk and lost appetite.
