My mother went through the same, and my feelings echo your own.

There is absolutely nothing good about losing a loved one to dementia. It is constant pain, for years.

I still remember the first time my Mom flinched in fear as I went to give her a hug, as she didn't recognize me. Her greatest fear was losing her mind, and it happened, and there was nothing any of us could do about it. It was a mercy when her body passed, as everything she was had died, inch by inevitable inch, years before. It was cruel, horrible, everything.

Same with my dad after a hemorrhagic stroke and he was on warfarin blood thinners. It basically felt like dementia, couldn’t remember a thing and couldn’t use half his body, confined to a wheelchair. I still mourn the loss of my former dad who is a shell of a once great man.
