I miss the world that made sense because it included my late mom. I miss the world where my mother went to events. And I miss the world where my mother had friends. I miss the world that made sense because it included my late mom. My dad recently attended his 50th high school reunion….
I don’t get to do anything with my mom anymore because she’s dead. As I became an adult, my mother became almost childlike with early onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Every day has felt like Mother’s Day since my mother’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease in May, 17 years ago. Honoring and protecting her became my life’s work during her illness.
Dear Mom, You weren’t supposed to leave me so soon. I’ve had to do everything without you.
The final stage of grief lasts forever. My mother has been dead for 10 years. But I’ve been grieving her loss for over 15 years.
