My Friend who Passed from Dementia

I am still trying to come to terms with what happened yesterday. Really hurt and devastated

a long time friend had dementia. I wrote about this before. No one in our class would write her or call her much less visit her.

I sent her a homemade quilt, a homemade wreath for her door along with toiletries and sent her a coffee pot from Amazon. I made a special trip to the hospital to see her. I paid for her and her daughter to go to our reunion.

I begged the class to send her a card or call her. Nothing.

Turns out they had the celebration of life and i was not invited. I was not even notified. One of my classmates wrote on Facebook she went to "represent" the class.

I let her daughter know how i felt too. She said "Oh you didn't get the invitation" well do you want to organize another one? NOPE. Meanwhile she is going to come to where i live and bring me a small urn of her ashes.

I am speechless and hurt and sure feel like a dummy at this point.

Very hurtful indeed. You were no doubt treated poorly but you should in no way feel like a dummy. Hold your head up high knowing you were a thoughtful and loving friend. I’m so sorry for your loss.

@OlderSometimesWiser thank you. this just caught me so off guard. i had met her daughter and she knew we were on the same page.
@akindheart Not making excuses but with everything the daughter had to cope with between her mom’s illness and subsequent passing, her social skills might be a bit lacking. It’s a hell of a lot to go through.

@OlderSometimesWiser that is very true. i understand your point. but to invite someone to the celebration that walked right past her at the reunion and meeting me, i think there is more to the story...just my opinion
