Boz,
My sincerest condolences. My grandmother went through a similar condition
in her final years. Remember the good times, the laughs, the grandmotherly things
of cookies and kisses and silver dollars. Remember that with the disease,
she is not *herself* and let the bad memories go.

I'm so sorry BOZ. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts.

The time comes when our days here are done. Some start a new journey, others return for a new stage in this world. It happens to all. From what you said it may be she forgets how to breathe. Then the end will come quickly. Keep her comfortable and let her go when it's time.

thanks everyone. a few moments in church were a bit rough today, but i guess i was just fine. my dad sent an e-mail back to his brother, with me on the CC. i thought i would share it with you. (FYI, "Zeke" is his nickname for his other brother Randy.)
Rick,
Thanx for letting us know in advance about Mother's current status. We all knew that this period of time would come eventually. I thought that with all the time that we had to prepare for this eventuality that we would be prepared for this time, but when I got the news, it still hit me like a ton of bricks. Friday, as you can imagine, was a rather unpleasant night for me. When the memories from the past came to mind, more than a few tears were shed (as they are now). Letting go of a parent is rarely, if ever, easy.
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of my family and me to thank you and Zeke for all that you have done for her, especially after Dad went home. Your continual love and devotion to her on your own and on our behalf in deeply appreciated by all of here. Given the distance, our physical contributions toward Mother's welfare would have been minimal at best beyond our thoughts, love, and prayers. God bless you all for your contributions.

BOZ,
My own grandmother (on mom's side) suffered from Alzeheimer's, so I understand. My grandmother (on dad's side) suffered for a long time before passing. Both are in a better place now, and the pain (for them) is over. Even if she cannot understand anymore, always remind the ones you love that you care about them. Both my grandfathers died short after their wives passed, and I do believe that they did so to rejoin with the ones they loved the most. We go on, and she will always be with you. Children are the path to immortality. Cherish the memories you have, and pass those stories on to others. Then she will never leave the family.
