Dear Dena,

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all

who are supporting their LO's through this so unpredictable disease.

Please accept my condolences. I can only imagine what you are going

through, even as I navigate my own loss. I hope you will soon be able

to enjoy more memories of the times you spent with her prior to the

onset of this terrible disease and that will provide you some comfort.

Dear Dena,

Your mom -and you - are in my hearts and prayers. Having read so many of your

messages here, I know you have been a loving daughter and wonderful advocate for

her. And how lovely to feel she slipped free of this life in a way that would

spare her daughter pain. I will hold you in my thoughts in the coming days as

you make plans and take the nest steps in this journey we are on with our loved

ones.

Hi Everyone

My mom, Margaret , passed away last night around 2 am. I was not there as

I had thought I might be, but I left it all in God's hands and I believe my

mom wanted to spare me anymore pain. I have been busy all day with arrangements

and booking a place to have a reception etc... Lots to do. She was 85 and lived

the last 2+ years with a mind that did not work at all. We had no conversation

at all. She could not get any words out that made any sense at all unless

someone was hurting her. I have had several melt downs and I know I will have

several more. She never did officially get on to Hospice. I did lots of

paperwork, but the RN did not get a chance to see her. Thank you to all of you.

I never would have made it without this group to help with her care and to give

me those pep talks that I really needed to get through to the next thing.

Again, have a wonderful trip to Ann Arbor. I will be thinking of you all. I may

be quiet for a while as family will be coming into town.

So happy to know that you are okay Sandie. I know you will have a wonderful

time.
