that's awful and hard to handle....
my father was @ WFH Hospice when he passed. he was in and out of coherent communication....his dementia had pretty much taken control at that time.
he had a major stroke and never recovered. after that it was a series of illness' that dragged him to the grave, ending with pneumonia.
i have one coherent visit to cling to when he asked me why i was there in his room. he knew it was me, but he wasn't really sure what was happening. that was about 3 days before he passed away.
as much as our relationship was a struggle, i miss him ever day.
I miss my Mom every day, too. However, I was telling a friend last night how my dream relationship with my mother has changed.
When she first passed away two and a half years ago, she would appear in dreams but never speak. I would wake with tears on my face.
Last night, I dreamt I was going to be in the Olympics as one of those runners who jumps over poles. I don't know what they are called.
My Mom was there telling me just what to do. I said, "But Mom, I'm 58", to which she replied, "You just have to learn to kick and jump higher! Practice, practice! Come ON now!"
I woke up laughing my butt off. :-)

my father is in most of my narrated dreams.....he and my brother. they always involve the millitary, churches, farm houses, an art gallery, oil field settings, and a rooming house in a down town scene i do not know.
i never wake up laffing.
