Once through anticipatory grief, as you watch them disappear to those disease spectrum. Again, when they pass. It's a grief bomb. Dealing with now. Don't have the answers wrapped up in a bow, but this much I do know. For everyone out there currently dealing with, or has, man do I ever know.


And the grief is a process individual to each. Don't let anyone hurry you through it. This is my first week back at work, my mom died June 4th. This week has felt like a month long.


Small steps. That's all we can do. Anyone having hard time eating, like me, I recommend BOOST drinks. Chocolate pretty darn good. High protein, high vitamin. You have to keep your protein up.

I'm sorry for your loss, I'm going through the first part of losing my mother to dementia too. Her body has also given way to being bedridden. I do know it will be hard once she's passed, but she won't be in the pain, confusion, and foggy state she's in. I don't know how I'll handle it actually after she's gone, but stay strong. Life continues and this is a part of life. Your handling your nutrition in a good way, and small steps are the answer.

I am so sorry for your loss of your mother! Definitely don't let others define your grief process. Our daughter died March 14 & my husband has dementia & doesn't understand why I am still crying. For him it is as if nothing happened. Great idea about drinking Boost! Most days, just thinking about cooking exhausts & nauseates me.
