Grief

[Seaneen]

I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband, @Ruth1e - that is devastating. I just wanted to connect you with @Dingwall who posted a thread yesterday about her husband who also died from dementia:

Loss of my husband who had dementia

My lovely husband of nearly 60 years died in June having suffered with dementia for six years. I was lucky that he remained calm and very kind. I was worried that I was still so tearful after six months, but having read other comments about this, feel reassured that I’m quite normal. I am finding it really difficult to remember him as he was before he had dementia and I’m grieving over those lost years too. I wonder if anyone else is in this position.

I hope you find the community to be a support to you - you are not alone.

Take care,
Seaneen
