When I started to read this thread I was going to post something along the lines of what ramblingboy posted. My SWMBO worked with dementia people many years ago. It is a horrible disease.Quote:

Take heart that with her illness (although probably not in any pain) she is now in a better place.
Sorry for your loss.
Having seen my GrandFather go through the same battle I know how hard it can be..
May you remember the good times...

Thank you to everyone for all your kind words. This is a fantastic community.
We have had a win, the coroner has accepted the opinion of the doctor from the nursing home that the death was resulting from complications of the dementia and so they do not need to do an autopsy and we will be able to get Mum back, funeral is on Tuesday next week.
The (only) bright side of this is that my son was originally due to come up from Tas for holidays in late January, but instead will be coming up this Sunday and staying here for a few weeks after the funeral, so we will get to spend a lot more time together than originally planned. I will be having to work a lot of that time but he is now 14 and I think he is looking forward to spending a bit of time looking after himself.
He is growing into a fine young man, better than I was at his age.
Good to hear about the coroner. I'm sure he wouldn't want to put the family through unnecessary trauma.
My FIL is now ome from hospital too, so that's good, although he's still very weak, but at least they seem to have him on the right combinaion of antibiotics.
Condolences to you and your family. Remember the good times, and talk about them with your family members.
Hi John, sorry to hear your loss of your Mum. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Just remember it isn't unmanly to cry, let it out.
We will all go through it at some time or later in our lives, it's part of living.
Just cherish all the fond memories you have, no one can take them away from you, they will live in your heart.
