You are so sweet to know your heart and the limits its grace can bring forth. I wish your grandmother as much peace as one can know when suffering from dementia (and you as witness to her dissolution). My grandmother also suffered from the condition.

I wish you could do more, but sometimes all we can do is learn to say goodbye when the person we loved is already two feet out the door, arms raised, waiting for their wings to sprout.

Oh man, you are making me cry right now 😭😭😭😭 I'd managed to put that on a shelf. It's too much.🥺 Part of why I feel I left is that while I knew this so far had been part of my real life training as #deathdoula I just did not want my grandmother to die on me... Because I just felt I couldn't handle that much grief this close. ❤️ Thank you, for your sweet words and acknowledgement. I am sorry to hear you have experience this too. Peaceful dissolution is a good way to describe it. 🙌🏻❤️‍🔥🦚🐦‍🔥🌹🌠🧿

I'm with you. it's so hard to say goodbye to someone who is already gone and cannot reciprocate.

My Grandmother was trying to tell us she wanted to leave. She left the oven open, the burners on, she wandered out and stepped in front of a semi truck, and having survived these attempts, the universe blessed her with a virus and she passed quickly while recovering from the broken hip (from the truck).
