Hello. I’m new here. It’s a year ago I lost my precious gorgeous mum. She had Alzheimer’s and suffered physically, but still
New us all. My dad passed exactly 9 months later. I’m 45. An only child. Adopted at birth. And feeling very lost. I have a family of my own. A husband and two beautiful children. But I struggle to cope with the loss.

Just thought Id say hi. Im new here too. My lovely dad died almost 3 weeks ago. He had late stage lewy body dementia but died of a bowel obstruction which resulted in sepsis. I am absolutely gutted and dont know how I’ll make it through the coming days and months. He suffered for so long and his death was not peaceful either. Hoping in time I’ll be able to remember the ‘old’ him and not focus so much on the suffering and the end days
