So sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you look after yourself during this difficult time and try to remember the happy times.
My father was diagnosed with early on-set shortly after his 60th birthday.
A couple of years earlier we lost my mums dad to it so it was devastating especially for mum.
Eight tough years have passed and he has severe behavioural and physical needs that means he has to be in a care home. During this time I’ve seen my mum display super human strength and my sisters and I have become closer.
Dad hasn’t recognised me for nearly two years and he can no longer speak, only really the occasional coherent word.
We get so caught up in life over various things. But the thing I want to do most in the world is just have a normal conversation with my dad.
It’s stolen my father and it’s ruined my mums later life plans. They should be enjoying retirement and doing things they want to but it has all been taken away.
