I didn’t have a good relationship with my mother and she had a deep onset of dementia while relatively young that eventually took her motor functions and her voice.
On one of my earlier visits she was still somewhat lucid but had no speech and I had to explain to her why we had to put her into a home that she tried desperately to escape from.
When I last saw her she was just a husk of herself staring out into space with clenched fists not even recognising me.
It was very hard to see and I wish we had time to mend our relationship and I’m sure her dementia contributed to our fights.
Treasure the time you have spent and memories of her that you have.
