Flat, I have been thru this. My heart goes out to you. You lose a loved one twice: first they don't know/forget who you are and again when they die. I had a very hard time making peace with myself after my mom died. I didn't get the closure I would have liked as I did when my dad died. This takes an emotional toll on you. My mom was in a nursing home for 4 years it broke my heart to see my mom go from a healthy, strong mom to a frail person robbed of her mental faculties. It was a brutal experience.

I hope you have family and friends for support. Stay strong!
