Hello all,
My dear mother has been suffering from Alzhiemer's disease for some time now and has been in a care home for the last 3 years. This morning I recieved a phone call from the care home that she has come to the point of not being able to eat or swallow and has become unresponsive, for the most part. At this stage, paliative care is the next step.
My father and I drove out to see her and it was very difficult, as you can imagine. The wonderful staff at this facility stopped by to console us and sit on my mom's bed to stroke her head and talk to her. I can't say enough about the awesome staff... such caring and kind people, every one...
It was so hard to see my father break down... they've been married 58 years.... she is such a wonderful soul and a kind person and mother. I don't ask for prayers for her, other than to go in peace.
I ask for prayers for my family to give us strength as we go forward in this process, for my father in particular.
