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.
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.
