I am sorry for your loss, Zoso, and will keep you in my prayers. 
I lost my mother the same way at 89 and yet her spirit is in my heart every single day. Your mama knew how very much she was loved, dementia can't take that away, a child's love is stronger than even that.
May you find comfort in your memories of happier days.
Hugs

I am so sorry, Zoso. But how lucky was she to have given
birth to such a good soul----one who reaches out and
soothes hearts torn asunder by the ravages of addiction?
Ravages such as dementia and addiction can do
incredible damage. What they cannot do----is take away
our character.
Your Moms work in this world is done. I think she can
rest in peace, secure in her honor....as a Lady who did at
least one incredible thing-----caused a kind soul to come
into being........

I just saw this Zoso. I send you my love - and will pray for you to be comforted.
I lost my mother the end of March. She was suffering from dementia also - and I was so glad to see her struggles come to an end. We will see them again.

Hi, guys...
Right arm is in a right angle cast as I type this. Seeing the doc tomorrow for an examination and a new cast.
As for Mom, it has not fully hit me. But I know it will, and when it does, it'll be full on. I deeply appreciate your kind words and condolences during this hard time.
My injury will preclude me from posting regularly, but I'll touch base when I can.
God bless all of you.

Zoso,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I don't post here often, but I read the forum nearly every day. So many on here share such wisdom, and in reading the posts reminds me to be vigilant about not falling back in to my codependent ways.
You, Zoso, are usually right on the money when it comes to helping others step back and put things back in perspective. I always admire how you do that with kindness but directness. Your mother must have taught you very well.
Again, my deepest sympathies.

I am very sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I am sure she is so very proud of you and your devotion to helping others suffering with a loved one's addiction. She is smiling down on you with a happy heart. We are with you during your days ahead. Best to you and for continued healing. God Bless.

((Zoso)) - I'm so sorry. My hugs and prayers are with you and your family.
I had 3 people I took care of with dementia and the last one died last week. Though I will always miss them, I'm glad they are no longer suffering from all that comes with dementia.
It will take time for the reality to click in. I know you can't type much but we are all here for you.
Love, hugs and prayers,
Amy

Stuffing it isn't a good thing. That first year was quite a roller coaster. with support of friends, family, and also online forums on grieving( there wasnt any f2f support anywhere near where i was living)I got through it all and learned quite a bit more about me.
I also learned there is no time line for grieving and it really isn't something that just ends. I still have days I think about mom and get emotional about it, but when it happens I just let it happen.
Keep in touch here,PLEASE don't stuff it, and prayers out for ya!
