please forgive them I am sure your Mum did!!My message at the funeral that was read out for me, was what you might say, several fold, making mention of all our mothers Ducklings etc and touching on the area you mention as well.
Light hearted, but at the same time, some serious messages entwined to ponder.
A funeral is not the place to bring up baggage.
Mind you and sadly, there was this scatter brain of a said friend of the mothers, running around bad mouthing me.
Lucky for her, I never heard it.
One of the people she fronted and unknowingly, was my mother in-law.
She was one of those that will generally turn the other cheek, totally grasped and lived, loving others etc, but she had a bit to say.
One of my sisters wrote to her afterwards and boy, did she fire up and give it to her.
The mothers dementia, imo was the infarct kind (mini stroke), first sign of anything was after a car accident, some months after.
Day of accident, hospital, assessed for everything, including the above type thing, all good, so they sent her home as she was giving them a hard time, wanted to get home lol.
So, I became doctor wotsup, lived and breath the subject, researched it as some of the infarct kinds can be stopped in their tracks.
Sadly, I was up against the mob, they in control now, got a trumped up Doc's report which clearly showed it was based on info provided by them, false, had it been tested, challenged, it would have fallen head over heals.
$ signs of the mothers property, more so became their mission imo, above getting to the real cause of the mothers condition.
You know the funny part, up until $'s thoughts kicked in, they didn't even know what property the mother own????????????
Anyway, to shorten the five year battle, wotsup in effect, walked away and had they gotten their way five years earlier, they would have gotten a few measurable thousand $'s each, but instead,.. a big one each.
We are all on reasonable speaking terms now, amazing what $'s will do lol, with exceptions to one, which I would suggest, this hang up is effecting them more than I, yesterday is gone.
During the battle, we sold up and moved to bigger pastures lol.
Mothers dementia, was around a 5 yr period and it's sort of like, they died but refused to lay down, it's a bugger.

kind of laughter at opportune and other moments . . . . but when I think about her, and her ways, she was never open to new ideas, always did everything in the traditional way she had been taught, you couldn't argue with her and hope for a good hearing . . . so I do think a kind of mental rigidity is a precursor to it, that, and/or an accident, as seems to have been the case with your Mum. So sorry for you!!
