14 years after my mother’s dementia diagnosis we are coming to the end of this journey. Made it to the cemetery to finalize
some necessary details. So many thoughts and feelings running through me but it’s not over so I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I had to stop and take this photo while walking through the cemetery. I think mom would think it’s beautiful too. #luckywelivehawaii #alzheimerssucks #koolau

It's complex. Very complex, & hard. J had pneumonia early January, & it was very confronting as docs discussed end of life arrangements. Fortunately, I not only knew her wishes, but treatment worked & she fully recovered. It reminded me that the end draws closer, & as you say, so many thoughts & feelings.

All the best. It's a beautiful location, with the mountains gazing down.

@thefathippy thank you. Mom had pneumonia at the end of January too. She responded to antibiotics and was placed on hospice (round 4). She did okay for a few weeks but aspirated again so we made the hard decision to go with comfort measures only. Hard to watch and second, third…billionth guessing. It’s the right thing, but hard. Peace and well wishes to you.
