We went from thinking we had a good plan of attack and a pathway to mom getting better, to losing her in what felt like a blink. It was such a painful shock. Finding a way out from under that pain is proving to be difficult.
Yes… #FuckCancer / #FuckMyeloma and #FuckAlzheimer’s and #FuckDementia

Both has hit our family this year in the multiples. But today is just another, keep the people who count to close to you all year. Reach out for help if you need it. ❤️
Reading this absolute brain diarrhea reminds me of the first time I realised that my Mum's dementia was a reality.
I'm no expert on that horrendous illness but my small amount of experience of it makes me seriously consider that the US President is going the same way.

An empty room shot from outside and half lit from a doorway to the left. The photographers shadowy reflection is in the exterior window.
Excited about my usual Tuesday trip to mam's today.

An intetrior scene with prints on the walls a shelf of books and a curly handrail on a balustrade.
We parked the doorbell in 'Hockney Corner last night to keep an eye on mam's wanderings. She was a good mother and stayed put.

Right off to see my beautiful mum for a couple of hours #FUCKDEMENTIA but I’ll leave you with the best keeper in the world enjoying being a #CHAMPION 😁 #LFC #YNWA
Well, that's that. My mom transitioned to... whatever is next today. I'm both devastated to not have her in my universe from today on and lightened/relieved that the Thing has now happened, and she won't linger and dwindle as a ghost of herself as the last vestiges of her mind dissolve #Fuckdementia
Getting off going to see my beautiful mum. Take it easy #FuckDementia #YNWA 💜💚❤️
2300 We're playing:
Who are you, and what have you done with my Dad? Apparently, "we aren't going to be working together anymore" but first I needed to take him to the kitchen to look in the fridge. Yep, still there #fuckdementia
#FuckDementia Love you mum #YNWA
The conversation my future husband and I had in the poolroom of the Hole In the Wall that night in early 1988 was largely about Basement Tapes boots and the sublime weirdness of this.
Just now when we heard the news, I had to remind him who Brian was. #fuckdementia

A black and white Boston terrier holding a green dinosaur Toy in his mouth. He is perfectly adorable.
We have to say goodbye to this magical creature soon. Our serious, complicated, 11 yo perfect puppy boy.
This photo is from just over a year ago. His condition has dropped sharply since. We've wrestled with how to do the right thing for him. Probably this week. 💔
We love you, Edgar.

It sucks when sundowning starts mid day...

Mum and dad having a little dance last Sunday in O’Neils in town after we won the league😁💜💚❤️ #FUCKDEMENTIA 💜
Teaching my father-in-law how to brush my mother-in-law’s hair the RIGHT way was not on my 2025 BINGO card, but I’ll gladly do it if it means her hair gets brushed every day. #fuckdementia #eldestdaughters #hospicecare
At 4:30 AM on March 20, 2025, the bravest, most beautiful, most loving, most unforgettable, most idealistic, most rebellious, most principled woman I’ve ever known took her last breath. Dementia took my mother’s beautiful soul long before it took her body, but she is finally at peace. #fuckdementia
On this international womens day I give 3 wonderful women,my little sister and my niece doing the memory walk around Aintree last year and my beautiful mum at the end💚💜❤️ #FUCKDEMENTIA
I hate dementia. I hate how angry it makes my grandmother get, how it turns her into someone hateful and spiteful.
I hate that even though I don't have it, I question my sanity because of it.
I hate the hold it has on us.

Whatever I see, she will always see differently. Altered #perception in the mind of a #dementia patient. At least we had yesterday & our #birds again. I missed the #cardinal by seconds - that was #daddy watching over us. #fuckdementia #photo #photographer #photography #birdphoto #treephoto #love
