Now my friend's mother died!

  • First, thanks to all of you who posted about my aunt's passing.

    My friend emailed me last night that her MIL passed away in the early evening. This is actually a blessing.

    Don's mother was in a full care Alzheimer's unit. She'd gotten to the point where they were having to remind her to swallow. She's in a much better place now.

    We went through that with my FIL. While it's sad, it's such a blessing to not be watching them. They don't know you, their surroundings, what time of day let alone year it is, etc.

    Wilma, you are now at peace.
  • I'm not good at expressing myself well during sad times, so here's my virtual physical expression...

    I agree - it's painful to watch someone you love slowly turn into someone you don't recognize anymore... my mom went through it with her dad.
  • She is truly in a better place now and no one would choose to live like that. Sorry for all that you and your family have been going through. Hugs.
  • My thoughts are with you during this sad time.
