Re: My mother's journey...

[Guest guest]

Lynn: I also will pray that God will give you wisdom each day as you deal with

the last stages of this disease. That is what I prayed for myself because there

are so many decisions that must be made when a loved one is suffering from

dementia.

God bless,

Subject: My mother's journey...

...is nearing its end.

Mom " celebrated " her 90th birthday on Christmas Eve. We are seeing signs that

she is declining more rapidly now. While nothing about this disease has been

easy, letting go will be a challenge that must be met. I pray for comfort and

peace for Mom and strength for myself and those who support me in this part of

the journey.

Best wishes,

Daughter to Dorothy. Diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment, 2-06. Diagnosed

with LBD with Parkinsonism, late 2007. Required total care beginning around

late 2008.

Lynn-

You and your mom are in my prayers. You have been a source of sound information

and sensible suggestions to this group for years, and have helped me deal with

my father's ongoing battle with LBD. He, also, is in his final days. He took a

bad turn suddenly one week ago and hospice is helping cope with his journey at

this point.

Continue to be strong, as you have been for so long.

Peace to you and your mother in this new phase of the journey.

Dear Carol,

I'm sorry to read this... My mom is late stage, and there are good days, and

bad days.... The end of the journey is so hard.

Sending you strength,
