Our long fight with Alzheimer's is over

[rcole_sooner]

They called us yesterday and said mom was in the transition phase. We visited, she was non-responsive but breathing steady.

Went back this morning and you could hear the labored breathing.

Hospice confirmed she was in the active dying phase.

Went back at lunch and while we were there I said, her breaths are getting further apart. I told Angela she wasn't going to last the night. We were planning on going back with Russ (he is on his way up from Austin) later this afternoon.

Just got the call that she has passed.

This is a good thing. Her long fight is over.

We did all the pre-planning for what comes next. So no jumping through hoops for that. Just spending time with the family and remembering the woman we all loved.

That’s right man. Remember her in the good times. Sorry to hear it but glad it’s over at the same time.

God bless her. I don't want to go this way. I want to go fast in my sleep.

I’m glad she’s now done with her fight, and am sorry for the loss of your mother.

I was at my mother's beside when she passed. Losing a mother for most but not all is losing the only person in the world who loves you when you're right, and when you're wrong to boot. You can't buy that. My condolences, from ours to yours.

My condolences.

Alzheimer's is a vicious, ugly, merciless disease. A good friend of mine, a wonderful man and a great Marine, finally was freed from it last week. They deserve their rest now. Wishing you peace and serenity.

 

[Boreas]

My condolences. A tough thing to go through for everyone involved. But she is at peace now.

As am I.
My best to you and your family.

I know it can be a relief of sorts. My mother had a year long bout with lung cancer and I somehow knew the outcome was non-negotiable.

 

[Honga Man]

Wow. I am sorry.

Seems like darn few get a good way out of this life.

 

[Sparky2]

All my prayers and condolences to you and the family.

So glad the pain and suffering finally over for your mom.

 

[Allthesound]

My condolences bro. Her fight is over and she can be a peace. Her love will always be with you and a part of you. Glad you got to there with her in her final hours.

My prayers and condolences on the loss of your Mother. Alzheimer’s is an ugly disease.

My condolences, it's a terrible, terrible, disease.
I lost my "partner" at age 59, she was a strong brilliant and beautiful lady.
When I hear that disease's name, I get sad.

We went though the same with my Mom. Condolences, but yes it's actually a blessing. It's awful when our loved ones leave us before they pass.

@rcole_sooner

Good man. You were there for her when she needed you.

Mojo.

its such a hideous affliction that take away the person in pieces, I hope she journeys well and is at peace , condolences to your family,
remember the great memories you had she will always live with in your heart!

 

[RoscoeElegante]

Condolences and sympathies. FWIW, I'm glad that you could convey this. Reaching out and leaning on kindness is crucial at such times. Take good care of yourself, partly so you can take good care of grieving others....
