I’m sorry to hear about your mom Nicole.

What a sad day for you. Thank you for sharing this post with us.

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Take care.

So sorry, Nicole. And such a sad, lingering way to leave this life. Namaste to you and to your Maman.

I am very sorry, Nicole. I hope you found some release from it. When my Grandmother passed from it, I was both sad and relived for her. Go find a hug.

Nicole
I wish you the best. Without meeting you, I know you are one of the good people in the world. No words suffice, except I care.

So sorry about your Maman, Nicole. My Mum died of Alzheimer’s too. My thoughts are with you.

I feel your pain. My mother died in January of this year from Alzheimer’s. It was agonizing watching her struggle, but her passing was still very painful. I am sending you a lot of light to help you through it all.

Peace.

as I lost my dad day by day to alzheimer’s, I thought that it would be easier to when he died. it wasn’t.

a few a my friends - some I hadn’t seen for years - came to his funeral. that meant an awful lot to me.

I used to dream about him. in my dreams he was healthy and his old self. it was a gift of sorts. i know the dreams came from inside my head but i was grateful for the visit nonetheless.

i’m so sorry for your loss. i hope you have some peace and joy in your life very soon.

Death isn’t the end.

and her wings will fly her to a better place.

I am so sorry Nicole. My mother died 10 years ago from Alzheimers and now my father has it. It is a one of the worse things for a child to go thru, watching their beloved parent succumb to this awlful struggle. My thoughts are with you.

I’m sorry for your loss.
PEACE.

My condolence for you and yours Nicole.

So sorry to hear that. Condolences. I lost my dad right before New Year’s.

My father passed away earlier this year after having Parkinson’s for 12 years. He was only 71. It was truly heartbreaking to watch this horrible disease take my father from vital and active public citizen to a helpless invalid. It is a hard thing to reconcile—and I wish you peace.

Very sorry to hear that. Keep the peace.

I lost my mom less then two years ago so I know how hard it can be. I’m sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences.

I lost my father to this horrible disease last week.

Take the opportunity to gather with family to share the happy memories.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I believe, though, the a parent’s love last longer than their bodies, being boundless. Hope that is some comfort.

Oh my dear, I am so sorry. There’s nothing worse than watching someone you love suffer.

Please accept my sincere condolences Nichole.

You have my sympathy, Nicole. I know what you’re going through. It will get better.

I feel for you Nicole. It’s been 18 years now but I certainly remember the day I lost my mom. And I know there are no words of condolence I could write that would make any difference in what you feel. But know I do feel for you and wish you and your family the best at this time.

Deep and sincere condolences.

Nicole -

Very sorry for your loss. Your work here is all the more appreciated in my book. No one here who didn’t know you personally could have guessed you carried this burden.

My Mom died 10 years ago of a neurological condition similar to Alzheimer’s. What a cruel, cruel way to end your days.

Best wishes and condolences to you and your family. The sun will shine again for you - in the meantime, be kind to yourself.

I’m very sorry for your loss Nicole.My sincerest condolences…My uncle had that one…it wasn’t pretty…and my wife has Huntington’s….were making the best of what we can…..again my sincerest condolences….

remember the good times……

Alzheimer’s is a very horrible disease. It steals the mind but spares the body. I have worked in a nursing home for 20 years and it never gets easier to say goodbye. And now my own family member has been diagnosed. I saw her signs coming years ago, but you never can prepare for the shock of a forgotten name of her child, a vacant look, an uncharacteristic comment, an inappropriate behavior. It’s never easy. I understand so well. Peace be to you. And peace and rest for her.

My deepest condolences, Nicole.

I lost my dad to the disease last year. Watching him struggle was hell, and I thought he would prefer to be dead, but oh God, how I miss him. I am so sorry for the pain you are in, Nicole. You are in my thoughts.

My condolences to you and your family, Nicole — but I hope that the reason that you chose to embed this particular song in your post is because you find that you’re able to take some comfort from it, for I think that it can do that. In fact, I know that it can because I had a rather serendipitous encounter with it when I was in the process of losing a relative.

In his later years, my paternal grandfather was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes — and as time went on, he began to suffer a number of complications which can accompany it (neuropathy, kidney failure, heart problems, memory problems). About three or four years ago, my parents called me to deliver the news that dialysis was no longer helping him and that plans were being made to move him into hospice care. Since we all knew that this was the beginning of the end, everyone in the family went to visit him — and since I lived only two hours away, I went by shuttle bus. My boyfriend at the time accompanied me to the bus station for moral support, but I’d missed the earliest bus by seconds and had no choice but to wait for the next. We went to get some food since I hadn’t eaten breakfast yet — but not long after we sat down, the song “Tears In Heaven” began to play over the station’s sound system. While it’s possible that it was just a coincidence (although some people believe that there’s no such thing as a coincidence), I don’t think it was — I think of it as being synchronicity. I started to cry, but I was not crying over the loss of my grandfather — or at least, that wasn’t the only reason. I found the song strangely comforting and I took it as a gift from the Powers That Be, partly because I felt that it was letting me know in advance that my grandfather would pass away over the weekend (which he did only an hour or two after I arrived) but also because it reassured me that my grandfather would not be in pain anymore. I don’t know with absolute certainty that there is an existence beyond this one, of course, but it’s experiences like that which make me believe that there is despite the fact that I can’t prove it — and if indeed there is one, I feel confident that there is no such thing as Alzheimer’s there and that your Maman is just as sharp as she ever was there (and more).

I am so sorry for your loss. This disease is such a thief. The entire family is victim.
I wish you peace and hope that you have beautiful memories to give you comfort.

Sympathy, love, warm thoughts and prayers to you and your family. So, so sorry for your loss.

My best wishes and prayers are with you in your time of loss.
Give yourself this time to grieve in the belief that things will get better as time goes on. Please remember the good times and take care.

Sorry to hear that, Nicole. I wish you and your family the best in this tough time.

My heart goes out to you.

Peace

All I may write does not convey my sorrow for your loss. We can not all live forever but each one of our passings must be honored and mourned.
Peace

I am so sorry - she was obviously a very good woman - we can all see she raised a daughter she could be very proud of.

So sorry to hear that she has passed.
I know she is proud of you, you must a been raised well, ya know.
Sorry again truely, may you find some comfort for this.

My heart goes out to you, Nicole. You’re numb, you’re grateful for the end of any possible suffering, but you have a hole in you the size of the Atlantic Ocean. Life now has serious markers, and this is one of them. Children are another, but this one is like the back fence. It enveloped you for so long.

She is merely invisible, take heart!

So sorry. Peace to you and yours.

I’m so sorry, Nicole. God bless.

My condolences to you Nicole.

May you find some small consolation here.

grant them rest.

Nicole,

My great-grandmother succumbed to Alzheimer’s. My thoughts are with you and your family. Please take care and know you’re in the thoughts and prayers of myself and many, many, many others.

I’m so sorry Nicole - my mom had Alzheimer’s as well. It’s a devastating illness and quite cruel - on many levels.
