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.
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. ❤️🙏
