New Member - just saying hello

Was feeling particularly sad this morning and decided to join AlzConnected.  My Mother passed last November and most times I feel like I am doing OK, but wondering if I might just be holding some of it down to stay strong and functional for my wife and kids.  Can’t stop crying this morning after the guardianship termination hearing last night.

I’ve appreciated reading through some of your comments as it helps to know others have the same confusing and sometimes conflicting thoughts.  I thought I wanted her to be free from this horrible disease but I just miss her so much.  I miss who she used to be.  I just miss my Mom

Very glad this group is here, and wish everyone the best
