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.
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.
