My grandma dies this morning

Alzhiemers. She went peacefully.

I lost my stepfather this last September. He also had Alzheimer's. In a way, it was a relief, but it was still sad, especially for my mother.

*hugs*

My condolences. :hug:

What was your grandma like?

but for the past month, she didn't recognize my voice, even though I kept saying my name.

:hug:

Alzheimers is very tough on the survivors since you know she is no longer suffering...but it is no less of a loss for you.

:hug: my deepeest condolences

Normally I don't like "____ died" threads, but I can understand what your going through with this one. My grandmother is currently dieing of alzhiemers, and my grandfather died taking care of her.

Hugs!

My dad has Wernecke-Korsacoff's Syndrome (probably did not spell that right). They call it Alzheimer's when they can directly identify a specific cause. In my dad's case, the deterioration was from his 50 years of drinkin' like a fish, and everyone knew it.

Now, he is 76, and is in the state where he just grunts and, of course, he does not recognize anyone. He has been in a lockdown type of nursing home for 7 years now. Frankly, none of his doctors have any idea why he's still kickin' But, I made my peace with it a long time ago, as I'm sure you have.

Thank God she went peacefully. May her energy be around to protect you always, freed from any constraints of a broken body. Comfort and peace to you!

Ma'at

My grandmother passed away last month.

My grandfather passed away April 29. I think of him every day.

I can't believe he's gone. :cry:

:hug:

:hug:

May she rest in peace.

:hug:

Especially since with Alzhiemers it is like losing a loved one twice.
:hug:

:hug:

That's a horrible disease. I'm glad that she went peacefully, but I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandma. :(

:hug:

It is not easy to lose a loved one; that your grandma went peacefully is a blessing. My sympathies, sakabatou. May Grandma be at Peace. :hug:

:loss:

My sincere condolences :hug:

I also lost my grandmother, six years ago, and I miss her each and every day. My Nana had a real fear of contracting Alzheimer's, and when she reached 90, I kept telling her that this was not likely for her. However, she continued to worry, and even joined an Alzheimer's support group, even though she was the only one in it who didn't have an Alzheimer's patient in their family. *sigh* My heart goes out to you and your family. I am glad that it was peaceful, but it still leaves a great hole.;(

May all your memories be good ones

My condolences to you and your family.

I lost my grandma three days after Christmas. Your family will be in my thoughts. :hug:

:(

A peaceful passing is comforting though. Take care sakabatou.
