My mother was a vitriolic nasty bitch who I had cut out of my life so when she finally died it was a relief to see the rest of my siblings be done with her madness.
My father has had cognizant decline for about ten years now and is pretty much at the point where he is just corpse walking around trying not to shit and piss his pants. Dude has three PHDs, has written well over 20 textbooks and was a college professor for decades. Now he can’t even read a menu. It is tough to watch and it is past time for him to die.
When my grandmother with severe alzheimer died, I remember her sons being kind of glad that both she and them would finally be able to rest, despite the pain.
I am happy for you that you miss your parent.

When your parent dies of dementia, you lose them twice.
