My dear Mother is gone now - Alzheimer's Disease & Dementia Message Board

Just a little note to let you know that my dear sweet Mother died this morning at about 11:45 at the care facility. She went very quickly. They had been talking to her right before they called me and told me her vitals were low, her color was not good, and she was cold to the touch. I live about 6 or 7 min. away, and by the time I got there, she was gone. I am really going to miss her. I was with her every day she was there, except when we went on a trip. I know she is in heaven now with my Dad and is now at peace. I know I have to remember that, but it is so hard. We will all miss her.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you, Rhoda. I am so sorry for you, but glad for you mom, who is now with her sweetheart.

It's never easy, and it's never a good time for this to happen. But it was time in God's eyes, and now, the healing can begin.

Truly, truly sorry, Rhoda.

Peace...

I am so very truly sorry Rhoda. A mixed blessing indeed. She is whole and smiling with your father now but you will miss her terribly. Celebrate her life. My thoughts, prayers, and sympathy go with you...

Love, deb

Rhoda,
So very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. That journey ends and another starts with your life without your Mom. I'm a few months into my journey without my sweet DH and know that taking one day at a time helps. Also take the time you will need to nurture yourself and know that we are all praying for you and your family.

Blesssings...
Janie
