Some of you might remember me posting questions about Alzheimers. My mom had been struggling with dementia for a few years. Just this past January, my sister and I thought she would be better off in a nursing home.
She did quite well for the first 6 months, then went downhill quite rapidly.
She thought one of the nurses aides was out to kill her. My sister and I stayed with her till he went off duty. She felt better.
Her birthday, same as mine, we celebrated. She hardly had any cake, did not acknowledge her grandkids or her kids, and stopped eating a few days later.
The nurse on call is an aquantaince of mine. When my sister and I got there at 12:30 this morning, she let us know mom went peacefully. When we looked at mom, we knew this is definately what happened. She did not looked pained at all, she looked at peace.

So, thanks for letting me vent to all you cyber Dis strangers it makes me feel a bit better. Mom is now with Dad and all their families in no pain, having a good time and probably laughing at us down here!

Take care of your parents...tell them you love them, even if they make you mad or have hurt you in some way.

Lisa dear,
So very sorry for the loss of your dear Mom . I know you take comfort she is resting in peace with no pain or suffering with you Dad. May she guide you from above and her special memories warm your heart forever. God bless and grant you and your family faith and strength thru these difficult days.

Your last sentence speaks much wisdom and sadly is what so many people seem to forget.

My story is almost identical to yours. Mom was in an Alzheimers facility, had stopped eating and speaking. They called in Hospice Care because they said her body was shuting down and it would be a matter of time. They also told my sister that she should tell Mom it is 'okay to let go". My sister asked Mom if she wanted to go to Heaven and see Daddy? Mom opened her eyes (first time in weeks) said "Definitely" (first word in weeks), closed her eyes and peacefully passed away...
I am very sorry for your loss.

Your post is so very touching. God rest your Mom.


and prayers to all those suffering the loss of loved ones.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My mom passed away June 28th, so what you are experiencing is still fresh to me. All the preparations and details you have to take care of now are keeping you busy. Be prepared for the wall you may hit when there aren't details to handle anymore. I thought I was doing ok until there was nothing to "do" anymore, that's when it hit me like a wave. Give yourself plenty of time. It doesn't get better exactly, but it does get managable.

Take care.

My grandfather suffered from this too and passed away Thanksgiving day, 20 years ago. Back then, not a lot was known about it. It was a terribly sad thing to watch.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
