It is so hard to lose a parent this way. I felt like a child standing on the shore while my father walked into a dark mist. Then I told myself he was walking toward that light on the horizon. My heart goes out to you.

A parent's dementia will cast a shroud of worry over our senior years. Every time I lose my keys, I wonder if I am walking into that mist.

Thank you for sharing and articulating perfectly what I'm experiencing following the loss of my father and watching my mother decline. May you have strength to get through this difficult time and may the fear abate.
