Sorry to hear that. :( My wifes grandma is 98, shes still good for her age. Her husband was a lawyer and fought for racial equality in schools. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thoughts and prayers.

I'm very sorry for your loss.
She sounds like she was awesome.
I'm going through similar with my grandma, who also has dementia and Alzheimer's. She's ok some days, for now.
She has been similarly prominent in the family.
Again, condolences.

Sorry to hear about your grandma. Dementia/Alzheimers is such a terrible disease and so hard on family too. Best wishes to your grandma.

how are you feeling cleo? was it hard visiting the apartment to sort out her stuff? and were there any photos that you havent seen before?

Im doing ok. It kind of helps that we sort of knew it was coming. Also they allowed visitors before she passed so I was able to go see her and also called my siblings so they can speak to her on speakerphone. My other family in Egypt also all got to call and say their goodbyes. With everything going on with covid, we were so grateful for the time.

And yeah my grandma had several albums with tons of pictures. Several of my siblings and all my cousins when we were little.

I found this one of my and my bro that Ive never seen before

My mom just called me as shes going through my grandmas jewelry to figure out a piece to give to each daughter and granddaughter. I am getting my grandmas diamond tennis bracelet. Its so beautiful and Im honored to have it. It will be something I can pass on to my daughter too

RIP but it sounds like she lived a full and more than fulfilling life with a huge legacy

Condolences to you and your family for your loss pal

I especially know how heartbreaking it is to watch dementia set in as a person slowly becomes "not who they really are" anymore.

Her health was really strong for her age until she started suffering from dementia these last few months

This is what's happening to my grandfather in Pakistan right now. I wanted to go visit him but the CoVID situation has made it difficult, and I'm worried the more I wait the more I run the risk of being too late :/

Well, my grandmas funeral is tomorrow. Its hitting me all over again that shes gone, she will never meet my child and it hurts so much.

The church is allowing 10 immediate family members. My mom and aunt tried to tell me I needed to stay home and watch live stream, talking to me like I was a child. I said I was going to go. My cousins luckily backed me up and got them off my back.

Im so sorry. Covid has made it especially difficult to be with our loved ones who are suffering. My uncle passed away in May from cancer and we couldnt really see him in the months prior because he was at such risk. He was like a dad to me and I didnt get to be with him at all during his final months.
