Grace passed away on June 23rd, 2024. Although I knew it was inevitable, it still shocked and upset me deeply. I miss her so much!
The last few months, from Christmas until her passing, were difficult, but I cherished every moment with Grace. When she passed, I experienced another phase of loss, as many who have lost someone to dementia often describe. I never tried to prepare for it because I didn’t know how it would feel. I accepted that it was part of the process of losing someone to dementia.
I would do anything to have Grace here with me today. Despite how the dementia increasingly affected her, I learned to cope and continuously adjust. I am so grateful that we maintained such a deep connection throughout. My memories stretch back as far as I can remember, to when we first met. I also hold on to memories from recent years, as there were still good times with Grace.
Since this website reflects our time together while Grace had FTD, I have decided not to make any further updates after her passing. OurFTDstory.com will remain live, and I may update the site with more photos over time.
