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.

Don't feel like a dummy. Your efforts were to ease things for your friend. You did that. Hold your head high knowing you helped.

The other thoughtless people really don't matter. You did all that you could.

@bowman81 it is funny because i called her the minute i heard she was in assisted living. I asked her if she had everything she needed. she said no and told me what she could use. the weird thing is she has MORE money than me and her family didn't bring her anything.
