Well, what I have wished for, for more than a year is finally here. And I'm so not ready for this.

53. I feel your pain.

In fact, your story brings horrific memories rushing back. It was not Lewy Body, but vascular dementia in my Mom's case, but she was with me 5 years after Dad died. I quit my good job with the VA to care for her. But it got so bad, I finally had to find a memory care because she was a danger to herself in my home, and I was not equipped or trained to deal with the horrors. It was the grief of daily loss, but also my inability to make things better. No matter how hard I tried, I had to face the reality that it would never get better. As you said, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

She broke her hip fighting with caregivers just 3 weeks after she got to the memory care facility. After hip surgery she did not wake up. It was terrible, and a merciful blessing all at once.

My heart goes out to you and Mrs. Glam. ❤️
