PIBBY
Diagnosed with dementia in 2007
Passed away in April 2017
It’s difficult grieving someone, especially while they’re still alive
For ten years we were mourning who you once were, mourning over your inability to recognise us, or talk to us or to perfom once easy and normal tasks
Now that it’s all over I dont think about the Pibby who had dementia, I am finally able to mourn the real you again. I only think about you as the glamourous and marvelous person who you always were before before the
were always
