Awww, I’m sorry, Roomie! However, do NOT feel bad or guilty about a lack of grief. Everyone deals with death in their own way and, speaking as someone who knows how Alzheimer’s can affect a family, I do think your Grandma is in a much better place. Even though it’s sad for those she left behind, she’s not suffering anymore and can hopefully regain her dignity.

Keep in touch.

Thanks for reminding me why I love Holidailies so much.

And congrats on the “Best of” recognition.

*big hugs*

Mike’s maternal grandmother had Alzheimers, and by the time he and I began dating, she was pretty far gone. I never met her. his parents would visit each year when they went to Indiana, but she didn’t remember any of them. it was really upsetting for his grandfather and mother. :( when she died, everybody was sad, but it was also a bit of a relief (as you said).
