Sharing with you b/c I truly feel like this group of anons is a second family. My Mom suffered from Alzheimers for 10 years. She passed away yesterday evening. My Dad, brothers and I all got to see her in her final moments. We prayed for her to be taken to Heaven. She was a devout Christian. She was the strongest person I have ever known. She watched her mother die of Alzheimer's, she was diagnosed early and knew what was coming. She never complained and continued to live her life. I love my Mom and miss her. She hasn't been able to speak or recognize me for years, now she is resting and I can finally mourn and celebrate her life.
Alzheimer's is a terrible disease. It is hereditary, one day it may attack my brothers or myself. I will try to use the example my Mom set, not to get bitter and continue living.
Thanks for letting me share.
Prayers for you fren. Your Mom is dancing with the Lord.
Jesus is dressed in coattails and top hat to tango her into forever. When I miss my mom I picture this, just like the Frank Astaire and Giner Rogers movies she so loved. Jesus tap dancing and my mother doing "everything He did but backwards".. Forever in bliss. Rest in Power to your mom and I will not forget you, my own dear mother.
I will pray that for you also.
Tell her to say hello to my dad.
When he died I was sad but knowing he is with the Lord Jesus made it better. It is sad to think about those who don’t believe.
I am sorry to hear this, truly. Alzheimer's is one of the hardest diseases to face in the ones you love, because you tend to lose that person years before they finally pass away.
It takes a lot of strength to face that every day and to keep wearing a face that makes them feel safe and loved, even when they don't know who you are.
I hope you are able to take this time to grieve and finally find some peace.
My thoughts are with you.
That is a beautiful sentiment, fren.
My mother left us last night as well. She was at home surrounded by family and friends and went peacefully while we were praying, singing (badly) and sharing happy stories. She wasn't conscious but I know she could hear us.
She had her mind, her body was just tired.
Sorry for your loss friend.
what a great send off your family had for her. I had been with my Mom 4 hours before, my Dad stepped out for dinner then she passed. She did have a care giver that was with us helping for 5 years by her side.
We all prayed with her the day she passed.
Thank you. My sister was her caregiver, she and my mom were very close it's hitting her hard, I'm sure my time will come right now I'm staying strong for my family.
Last night when I was falling asleep I know I felt a kiss on my forehead like my mom used to do. I was sleeping in her recliner in the livingroom after everything.
Prayers for you HunnyB. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God surround you and your family with peace and comfort.
Thank you so much.
They do like to say their goodbyes while they can, it's not uncommon. Make her proud!
I will, I was always so proud of my mom. Thank you.
Prayers for your family. So sorry for your loss.
May the powerful, healing hand of the Spirit be upon you in this time of tribulation, in the Lord's name we pray.

God bles you fren. Loosing a parent is hard.
Our prayers are with you friend. i have said that I am glad my mom and dad are not here anymore, because my Father would be so Heart Broke seeoing how our country is now. He was in the Navy in WW2 and always loved this country. My parents were part of The Greatest Generation and they would be so Heart Broken to see the world today, So I can honestly say She is in a Much Better Place now friend

Every tear will be whiped away, more steangth to you and your family
I'm sorry for your loss. My Grandma, who raised me, also had Alzheimer, it's terrible to see a good mind fading away.
Prayers to you and your family.
Heartfelt condolences. May the love of God surround and uphold you and your family; may his peace be upon you, may you be strengthened and comforted by the knowledge that her name was in the Lamb's Book of Life.
<3 ty your sharing was humbling
where there is life there is always hope
you are lucky to have a strong family who hang tough ...not all do
I am so sorry. I too lost a parent - my dad - after 10 years with vascular dementia. It is a very slow goodbye that is so hard on the family. Like you, I look forward to reuniting with him in heaven one of these days.
God bless you and family. My parents both passed a little over a decade ago and what keeps me from being to sad or remorseful is knowing in health they smiled and loved alot. That's all I see when I think of them. Their laughing, smiles and hugs.
God Bless You Pede and Your Family. She is looking down at you from Heaven, our real home.
Very sorry for your loss fren. Your mom is now resting with the Lord. I lost my mom last year and remember the best thing to do was to be with family, pray. May our Lord comfort you and yours.
🙏🏻
God Bless you and your Mom in heaven.
God bless you. My mom and step-dad both passed in 20 from long term Parkinsons. They both picked cotton as children. Pesticides I'm sure. I can talk to my mom now, and know that once again she understands me. I pray for peace for you. These are very hard times.
I’m sad for you, but also happy. To be with the Father, our Lord and Savior. The best day.
It reminds me of when the Mary’s ran from Jesus’s tomb, as the angle told them He is not there. To go seek Him in Galilee. They ran with fear and excitement. Of the unknown. They knew something amazing has happened, and will happen. We should all have that. That fear of change. But excited and looking forwards to it. For something so much greater than we have now on Earth. Jumping up and down screaming with Joy. Your mother now has this. I’m sorry to say she won’t be thinking much about all of us down here. 😂 To be with our Savior...that’s winning friends. God bless you and your family friend. I hope our Lord can ease this passing with His continued Joy and blessings for you. ❤️🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss. I pray that the Lord will give you comfort, and that you and your family will find ways to celebrate her life instead of focusing on her death. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve, so just you do you.
Moms are special! I watched my Mom's Spirit leave her body when she died! It was the most satisfying experience I've ever had in my life! My Mom is in Heaven and waiting for us to return to GOD the FATHER, JESUS the SON, and The HOLY SPIRIT! Praise GOD!
I am sorry for your loss. 🙏
My condolences to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in the peace of life everlasting with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May he bless us always and in all ways.
In Jesus name I declare that you and your brothers WILL NOT suffer the same fate. All you have to do is agree and believe.
I know the loss is bitter, but your mom is unbelievably happy at this moment. It helped me to remember that when I lost my folks. God bless you and your family fren.
God bless you and your family....take comfort in knowing your mom is with Jesus
Sorry for your loss. At least you know she is in heaven with our Lord. Some people don't get to know that for sure. I have a sister who is 5 years older than me who is suffering the early stages of Alzheimer's. She doesn't sound like the person I grew up with. I pray that she doesn't suffer in her final moments. God bless you, your father and your brothers. Prayers being sent.
prayers for your sister. Alzheiners is brutal, hits people in different ways.
Thanks. She just turned 65.
that is about when my Mom was diagnosed, she died at 74.
Bless her Lord.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Mothers are the glue that holds the family together. Mine passed away when I was 19, she 46, cancer. My Dad tried to hold us together but in the end it wasn't great. I had good parents and grandparents. I feel blessed to have had them in my life. 🙏😥
Her pain is now over and may she see the light of His face.
I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your whole family. I too believe she is resting in Jesus' embrace tonight. Thank you for sharing this post.
With Jesus in Heaven with all who she lost rejoicing and waiting for all to join with her in Heaven by Jesus.
I am, like countless other patriots here Also terribly sorry for your Loss. - But may I give you Wonderful News...
I worked 40 years in medicine (& tho mostly in ICU-contexts), I managed couple Memory-care units where I showed... Alzheimers is Not hereditary, rather BOTH Preventable & Reversible... & any brain can heal. It does this via Neuroplasticity iow “the brain’s ability to change, remodel & reorganize for the purpose of adapting to new situations.” See:
Your beautiful Mom is in Heaven now, awaiting you with her Love... - yet while you live on this side of the veil may this Good News bring you also Joy... Take Good care. God Loves you deeply. True.
thank you for the information, I will save and review it.

Blessing to all who have suffered through this. As a caregiver to my mom who suffers from it, I know that we have given them the best ending we could. And thank you 2rainbows, this is very hopeful to read!
