Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / February 2006MAM
Dear all I finally lost my mam last week. I was called the tuesday before last to go home. I drove all through the night to get home and my sister flew in from Ireland. We were at her bedside when she died. It was so difficult to see her take her last breath.She had been in terrible pain but after they put a morphine pump into her she slipped away peacefully. We had her funeral yesterday, the fourth anniversary of her mum's death from Alzheimers. I believe everyone has a guardian angel and I truly beleve that mam's guardian angel was my grandma coming to take mam away from her pain. I feel I have some closure now. I'm devestated but at least my dad can move on from this living nightmare and that I don't have to worry. Thanks for all your previous kind words.

SignatureTumbleweed email replies not necessary but to contact use; tumbleweednews at hotmail dot com Thanks for your condolences. She was put into respite social care in the first wek of January. They could not manage her and so went into a palliative care ward within two days. She basically died in about a month of going into care >> Dear all >> I finally lost my mam last week.

Steve, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I'm glad she was able to pass peacefully and that you and your sister were able to be with her. As sad as that time was, I'm sure that and other memories will be a comfort to you. May your mam rest in peace and rise in glory. Songbird My sympathy Steve. Glad she is no longer in pain.

Hug. All my sympathy, Steve, to you, all your family, and your mother's friends. I hope the knowledge that her suffering has ended will eventually be a blessing to you. Woodstock Dear Steve, I have only just returned from vacation and read of your loss. My deepest condolences. May you find peace in your very best memories of her.

I was called the tuesday before last to [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Thanks for all your previous kind words. > Best wishes Thank you everyone for your compassion. I have found this group very supportive. I do feel a sense of release now, so much that I have started sleeping again . Slept in twice this week! In a while my dad and I are going to do a sky dive to raise money for the Alzheimers society. I don't think dad finds the idea of being strapped to a big butch man as appealing as me but he's up for it. We just want to give something back and help others going through the same nightmare. Thanks, again for your support.

Send pictures! Sounds like a blast!

Thats about the only thing that would get me to do that (hmmm, delete the 'about'). Good luck Steve, got a sponsorship page? FWIW I did a sponsored event last year and found http://www.justgiving.com/default.asp invaluable, I raised a *lot* more money than I ever thought I would simply because it was so easy for people to sign up, no need for grub eared bits of paper or chasing up after the event, plus for UK donations they can reclaim the tax, which is very difficult if you arrange it yourself.

Nah! Go up in a Cessna, or similar, and do some aerobatics! Now that's unforgettable, Steve! Who's funding your sky diving? I might try to do something similar over here and what your strategy (unless you want to keep it private? anthony shipley Run away with me; I can make you unhappy. |
