Sorry to hear you have to endure this pain....

Thinking of you and your family..

Love Morty

I am so sorry to hear this news. These months (or in your case years) leading to this moment are so draining for everyone involved.

In many ways you hope it comes quickly so our parents don't suffer but at the same time, we are not ready to say farewell. Savor the times you have left. I know alzheimers is a very tough illness but look at your mom's face and remeber the days past when she was the vibrant person who cared for you and shared in your successes as you grew. That is who your mother is and she will live on through you.

My thoughts will be with you. Having just been through this with my Dad, if you want to talk to someone please drop me a note.

I wish you and yours all the best.

Nina:

I am very sorry to hear about what you are going through. You and your family are certainly in my thoughts. My husband's father passed away last year under very similar conditions (he didn't have alzheimers, he had white matter disease, which is in the same family -- he was only 59). Making the decision to put him in hospice care was very difficult for my husband, his siblings and his mother, but in the end they were glad that his suffering ended. We found hospice care to be very compassionate. The emphasis was on keeping my father-in-law comfortable, managing his pain, and preparing the family for the end.

All the best to you,

Lucia

((((((((((((Nina Darlin'))))))))))) just know that I love you hon........sorry you are going thru this and your Mom. It seems when we start to heal from one thing and something eles happens. But really you Mom is a lucky woman to have you standing by her side and you are lucky to be with her at her time of need. I know it must not be easy,,,,,,,as I was with my MIL as her dad passed with the help of the wonderful Hospice folks,,,,,,I saw the sorrow as she watched her dad pass away. The thing that touched me was that he did not suffer at all, in pain, at least...and he was able to say things to my MIL that needed to be said and it gave him time to say what he needed to to pass peacefully from this world.

All in all,,,,,,,,,the hospice experience was a good one, my granddaddy in law, was comfortable, well feed, taken care of and loved to the very end. The people who came to the house every day were wonderful and did help those in the family deal with the emotions and help with things that needed to be done. They also just sat there and had a cup of coffe and listened. That meant alot to my MIL.

Nina...I am very sorry... My Mom died 3 years ago from cancer...my heart goes out to you and your family. I don't know where the strength came from, but, it did for me and I know it will for you, too.

Big Tex has to be your best friend from what I can read into your words about him...you will really being leaning on him thru this. He will be invaluable in helping you...

My Mom's dying actually came on quicker than we could imagine...it was the most difficult time in my life, as we were very close.

You are in my prayers starting now...

Sorry to hear your sad news....it really must be most difficult.

My thoughts are with you all.

Sorry, Nina. We are holding vigil with a family member now. Hospice is there. That family member is so together about this. They are seeing family members, making a tape for the grandkids, enjoying their life. Of course, they are mentally aware. But it is so sad, and we feel so helpless. She has no regrets and her relationship with God is strong. But waiting is so hard for everyone.

My heart goes out to you. I have a shoulder I can share if you need! Maverick
