I am so very sorry, and grief has a way of either pulling families together or spinning them off never to reconnect. May the prayers and thoughts of many be of comfort to you and your family.

I am very sorry for all of your losses. I, too, lost a parent to dementia and then death. I lost the rest of my family while still living, much like you. All of it is so horribly sad. But we make our families anew in different ways. We love and we are loved.
Bless you and your family. I believe you will see your mother again in a happier place.

I am sorry for the loss of your dear mother but am glad she is free of the grips of Alzheimer's. My grandpa had it and my mom thinks my dad was showing signs of it early before he passed of cancer. Take care of yourself. <HUGS>

My sincerest condolences on the loss of your mother and on the turmoil that has surrounded your relationship with your father. It's hard enough when you have the support of the rest of your family members but must be doubly so under these tough circumstances. I'm so sorry.

May she rest in eternal peace. As a Christian I firmly believe that the love we show to others is the same as loving our Heavenly Father. For what ever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me. May you find peace in knowing that your Mother loved her family fully and completely.

Oh, that's hard. I'm sorry. Yes, you have the right to feel heartbroken...or not...or a storm of conflicting emotions. Thinking of you all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is really sad. Try to remember the good times. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease. You're in my prayers.

A kindly nurse saw my letters and enquiries in her notes and asked my fathers permission to inform me. We hadn't seen each other for over 6 years due to a horrible family fall out. She only just knew who I was then because she was in the grip of Alzheimer's. My dad told me years ago that I am dead to him and not to call him father, and he wrote to my children about 8 weeks ago to inform them they were disinherited. I really don't think he is well and I can't therefore feel anger towards him for what he has said to me, but I do for my sister- she refused to get my mum help when I first alerted the family I thought she was developing dementia ( I am a trained nurse) and the hatred towards me really kicked off back then. I am glad she has passed because she had no quality of life- she wore nappies and was terribly stiff and twisted in body. She was regularly attacking my dad and sister and the nurses- she would have been HORRIFIED if she had any awareness of what she was doing. Shehad a dreadful fear of developing dementia as her mother had it, and when I recognised the signs in her and asked my sister's help, my sister told my mum what I had said and she really hated me for it. I can't stop thinking about the fact that she wasn't a Christian, didn't believe in any God. As a Christian myself ( but who came to fate late in life) I feel so scared and lost for her. Please pray for my mum, and my dad Andy who I am sure is totally devastated . Thank you. I am so sorry for your loss. What a mix of emotions you must be feeling! {{{hugs}}} and prayer. |

I'm so sorry for your loss.
The death of a parent is difficult even if there is a good loving relationship. When they die and the relationship is on bad terms it's even harder.
Add to this the fact that you're unsure of her relationship to Christ and it makes the loss all the more hurtful. At least when she was alive there was still hope that she would somehow come to know Him, but once she's died all of that hope is gone.
I felt the same way when my Dad died almost 4 years ago. He was a bully and abusive. While he was still alive I hoped that he would come to know Christ, but he chose not to.
I'm sorry for the loss of your Mom and the drama in your family. ((HUGS)) to you.

I'm so sorry. Praying peace and comfort. I had posted a few months ago about my dad hitting his head and suffering terrible confusion. We are currently waiting on test results to see if his confusion is a temporary or permanent thing. The fact that he made a profession of faith last year and gave testimony to it just a month before this ordeal began has brought peace that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I'm so sorry about lost relationships, lost time and lost opportunity. Hugs friend.
