Update on my mom (dementia/fall/etc.) Login/Join

First of all, I want to thank all of you who offered advice, support, etc., especially sig2340 who said I could call him any time to talk. Unfortunately, I never got around to calling as Mom's fall eclipsed any worry the dementia diagnosis created.

Mom never regained consciousness after her fall last Monday, and this morning around 6, she passed away. In many ways, I'm glad. The prognosis we'd gotten late last week said her best-case scenario was nothing resembling the life she'd want to lead, even at her age.

So once again, thank you all for the advice, encouragement and support.

Sorry to hear.

My mom lost her father to a long battle with COPD. When he died, she had not one single regret, because she knew his quality of life was never going to return, and she also spent a TON of time with him over the four years or so that he battled, especially the last year or so.

I hope that you and your family are able to find closure after a crappy end to the holiday season.

I believe you did all that you were able in most difficult circumstance.

And that in this certain thing, a long and protracted illness would have been a very rough path for you all.

I am sorry you lost your mother to this.

May her memory always be for a blessing.
