Re: not much to say

I am sorry. It takes time, first I was relieved that it was over for her and for us, then angry with her and now I just miss her always. The disease took mum gradually away from us for more than 10 years so I really lost her in my 30's.

You Ray are having a tough time all way round and I feel so sorry and yes helpless.

not much to say

Re: Kabu

And I knew that you knew I would... LOL! My mom always said, "It takes one to know one..." I have a Celtic cross I wear at times.

This is so like what happened to my Dad. We took care of him at his home for as long as we could. Then it began to be the end of my Mom simply because she did not understand what it was and why he was like that. We placed him in a long-term care facility though it was such a sad thing to do, and I began to work there so I could be near him and keep up with his needs. My Kansas City Sis moved in with Mom and she was so good with her that Mom came back to an interest in life for five+ more years and would go with us to visit Dad at the home. That seems so long ago now. Dad passed away in 1992 after their 62nd anniversary, and Mom passed away in 1995. We still miss them so much.

Re:

perhaps she died before she lost too much of her mind. Mind you, I can be a bit vague...Oh wait, I have always been like that. LOL

Re: It's good to be able to think of your mother's little boat in safe harbor.

Pat, it took me some years to be able to remember the sweet gentle person my Mum was. Brave and a great farmers wife and just a cute amount ambitious for her daughters.

Re:

Alzheimer's...a rotten horrible disease that gradually takes away some one that you love.

Re:

Yes I remember Jane Eyre. and I remember how people laughed when the oldies got dementia or lost their marbles or the plot...My Auntie used to drive her car down the street in the local one maiin street town and lose it. So sad because she had been such a strong woman and then people were laughing at her.

It's good to be able to think of your mother's little boat in safe harbor.

And to remember her as she was when young. Hugs.

I would like to wish you a Happy Belated Easter...We lost my paternal grandmother to Alzheimer's nearly sixteen years ago.

Years ago when folk had this disease or malfunction. The relations could only stand it for so long and the poor dears ended in the Local Care facility. We used to say give them a fortnight. My Mother had a horror of such places. I promised I would never place her one if she ever became afflicted/ Remember Jane Eyre . Seven years it took. Fortunately today drugs will slow the process as My cousin's, wife has been afflicted for several years and I hope she will pass peacefully. It all happened at the wrong time for us I am afraid.

I love the Celtic cross! A gentle story of a daughter's love for her Mom, most beautifully told. Thank you for sharing. So true at holidays and gathering times, we think of those no longer with us, and we remember. And we honor them, as you have done here.
