I've been reading this forum for about a year and a half now, since my Mom was diagnosed, and have posted a few times.

I just wanted to let everyone here know that my Mom has gone home to be with her Lord and Savior, and that I have deeply appreciated all the love and wisdom I have found here. Thank you all very much.

Mom had a good end and did not die of AD. Her doctor described it as a "Perfect Storm" of relatively rare medical conditions. She was not in pain thanks to hospice care in the hospital, and was lucid enough to reject any further medical intervention. She lasted long enough for her brother and sister to get here and share many memories. I was holding her hand when she died. I had just finished reading the 23rd Psalm when she took a deep breath and did not breath again. A good end, and she was spared the worst of the raveges of AD.

I wish for all of you the love and support I found with my family, and the peace that comes from knowing we will see our loved ones again in a place beyond pain and sorrow.

Dear Becky,

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Mom. Please accept my sympathy for you and your family in your time of sorrow. How comforting for you to have just finished reading Psalm 23 to Mom. Surely you will see Mom again in heaven with our Lord Jesus. God bless you.

Love and peace,
Marcie

Hello, Becky, I know you will surely miss your dear Mother. Please accept my sympathies. However, her passing seems to have been as wonderful as it could have been. I hope that my mother will have such a journey, as hard as it is to imagine.
Praying for you and your family, Christie

Becky:

I just wanted to add my sympathies to the others who have posted before me. Just remember your mom will always be with you in your heart. I so want my mother's passing to be gentle and swift when the time comes.

Take Care and I am sending you hugs to keep you strong on the last part of this journey.


Pat

I can imagine when that day arrives for my mama, I will be glad she is free of Alzheimer's, yet grieving the loss.

I'm glad you said she is home....she is! One of the saddest things about our little loved ones is that nothing is familiar to them. I have no doubt that she floated into heaven and thought
"At last...home!"

My heart goes out to you as you grieve her loss.
