I would humbly request prayer and/or positive thoughts for my mom specifically and for my family as well.

Mom has had some issues with memory and the ability to complete the activities of daily living over the past couple of years.

It got to the point, my sister started the process for temporary guardianship. The was a court ordered medical exam and the preliminary diagnosis is Alzheimer's disease.

My sister is taking this pretty hard and even though I am medically based and approach things clinically, I'm dreading the future as I understand the progression of the disease.

Mom is presently in an assisted living facility, but don't know how much longer this will meet her needs.

This is a terrible disease and I believe your prayers will be needed to help cope with it.

On the way. It is indeed a terrible disease, but there are support groups available for families dealing with it.

I wish your whole family as much peace and comfort as can be found in such a tough situation.
 
We went through this with my father 20 years ago.Mom,I suspect,is in the early stages of it now.I don't quite know how to explain it but this time around there's an acceptance of it.My heart goes out to your family.
 
Sickness in a parent is a terrible thing. Not only do we feel grief and anxiety over our parent's illness, but it is a cruel reminder of our own mortality.

I echo the pervious poster's advice about seeking help or support.

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
 
Thoughts and prayers from here.
Somewhat similar situation with my mother-in-law, such a gradual progression over a few years it was almost a shock when we realized how far this great gal had deteriorated.

My wife assumed power of attorney, meds were prescribed that slowed the progress of the disease and a good facility at reasonable cost was found.

I can't tell you much you won't learn for yourself except perhaps patience is a virtue found only in short supply at times, at least for myself. I found myself just having to walk rather than add to the ugliness.

I truly wish you and your family well in finding the strength to deal with the difficult times and the ability to rejoice with the good.
 
Pawncop, Prayers sent from SA. We're going through this right now with my Mom, so I know how you feel. Hang tough, guy!
 
I pray to the Father for the love and patience you all will need.
Sadly, Ruthie and I are all too familiar with this disease.

I am hesitant to tell you we just lost Ruthies mom but truth is truth. We did out best to understand where her thought patterns were taking her and we would go with her. She was happiest with contact. At times she would not know us but it didn't matter. She wanted someone to talk to.

Prayer, love and patience are what helped us the most.

I wish you all peace.

In His name!
 
Echoing the thoughts and prayers of all the previous posters, most especially those who have been through this with their loved ones.
 
I guess that most of us have a friend or family member that has gone through this. I've had a grandmother and an aunt that went through literal hell with this terrible, cruel disease. And you are right, it is horrible.

My prayers are up for your mom and all the family as you all go through this awful period. Try to keep a positive attitude and stick together as a family. You are all going to need each other. Hang in there and support and draw strength from each other. God bless......
 
Sorry to here this, prayers sent for all your issues you have had more then your share. Alzheimer's disease is a scourge as it will remove her cherished memories. The part I find hard to live with is that they don't remember who you are if it advances to that state.

Romans 8:18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
 
Everything I read when my father was diagnosed and most of what Ive read since then describes the patient as often being combative,aggressive,etc,which was a pretty good description of him normally[emoji57].What I saw those last few years was more like a sweet,often confused,little boy.
 
I'

Try to always remember that what is happening is part of God's plan. Prayers for you and family from MO.
 
my mom had it for the last 12 yrs of her life..... it will teach you patience & to appreciate those good days, both from the past & the present. Cherish those memories & on the good days, store more.

May our Father give you, her loved ones & her caretakers the strengths needed to help her on this stage of her journey...and to gentle her way upon it. Father we ask this of You, in the Name of Your Son, according to Your Will.
