I lost my beautiful Mum on the 1st December, and am finding it very hard to cope. Mum had dementia the last few years, and then developed dysphasia and became bedridden. The one thing we are grateful for is the fact she never forgot her family, and even up until the end was laughing at our toilet humour. I just can’t imagine her not being here anymore, as she has been a constant in my life for 50 years. It’s going to be so hard to have Christmas without her this year.

Hello @Nessy73 ,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are feeling. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
