Mom - 72nd birthday July 2004 |
My feelings are mixed because my mother was taken from us by dementia several years ago. She knew who we were but was not aware of much else. She was unresponsive. I know in my heart that she would not have wanted to continue to live in this way.

This was the last picture we have of her being wheeled to the car by Graeme, Doug and Jason. A sign of what was to come only three months later.

Our sincere sympathy to you Toni and Doug. You and the family our in our prayers for comfort.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Dave's Mom had Alzheimer's for many years before she passed so we know about the mixed feelings.
Toni, I send you love and hugs at this time. It's hard to lose our parents and yet we want to rejoice that they are finally free from the horrible life they have here. My Mom too, had dementia for a couple of years before she died.
so sorry for the loss of your Mom, Toni..no matter how old we are or how old they are it is still not an easy time..take care..hugs to you both..
cherish the good memories..may your Mom rest in peace.

Sorry for your loss. Dementia is a terrible thing robbing us from loved ones long before the body gives out. Lots of hugs.
We're so sorry for your loss. You are right your mother would have wanted to be remembered as she once was and not as she was currently living. Funerals and memorial services aren't as popular as they once were. It's the memories inside that will always remain.
Hugs!!
Sorry for your loss I went thru the same with my mom July 2011 I feel your pain.
My deepest condolences to you. It is a hard thing to lose one's mother.
So very sorry for your loss...one of the reasons we are living this lifestyle is my mom's passing back in 2003, she died with many of her dreams and I promised her that would not happen to me...
Please know that my heart goes out to you, even with her disease, it is still hard to imagine life without your mom...no matter what your age.
Toni, Sorry to hear of the lose of your mother. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Jeff and Tina
