Have you ever "pre-grieved"? Have you ever grieved the loss of someone long before they're actually gone? When you realize that who you remember them to be is forever gone? And they don't even know it?

Today is one of more pre-grieving times to come. Today, my heart can barely take it.

My mama doesn't remember me.

Hang in there, Kimberly.
There may come sporadic moments of clarity, but then days like today will happen again, too.
"Pre-grieving" is totally normal in these types of cases.
I'm sorry this validation won't make it any easier.
One thing that might help is music.
Songs you used to sing together.
Or any other music she loves can provoke moments of cognizance.
VERY best wishes.
