Mom is going into hospice. She is refusing food and water. At this rate, they believe it will be only a week or two and she will be gone. She is continuing to scream and rant at nothing - she is being tortured by demons only her Alzheimer's brain can see. She needs to be at peace - that is what I pray for.

I'm truly sorry, Bailey. But I agree that there comes a time when sometimes you just have to let go. I guess for both of you. You have done all that you could have and that should bring you some comfort. You also need a time to rest and heal. I'll be thinking of you both. Take care.

Oh Eve, I'm so sorry! It sounds like it is for the best and your mom will soon be out of her misery. I hope she goes peacefully! My prayers and thoughts will be with you and your family. Take care of yourself. Big Hugs!
Eve I am sorry. How could someone that looks so beautiful and happy in that younger photo...how could her mind just leave her? It isn't fair. I hope she finds peace. I hope you find peace. I hope you get a chance to live life. You have done so much for your mother...you couldn't have done more. Hopefully that will comfort you.
Again I am so very sorry. I am sending you a big hug.
My goodness. Be strong Eve. I'll be praying for you, and praying is not something I do often. I really hope you are ok.
Bailey, sending love and hugs.
I hope she finds rest and peace.
But most of all, I hope you do too.
If you need anyone to talk to, I'm here, hon.
Oh, Eve, I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. Alzheimer's can change a person so much. I know it changed my mother on many fronts but nothing as severe as this. Please, please don't let it affect you at all if possible--though I know a part of you will be wondering if you could have prevented this. I know I often thought so. But blame the illness, only the illness. I'm still praying for you both, but especially for you.
I can't express all that I'm thinking right now. Just trust that God knows what is best. This was not his plan. However, I do believe that God can turn it to good. And don't ever think that you did anything wrong or could have done anything more for her. I so admire your patience and loving care for her. Think of the good times now and concentrate on healing from this time of testing.
Hugs and prayers. You are precious.
Bailey/Eve, (((Hugs))) I am so sorry that you and your mother have to go through this. I hope you can both find peace in this turbulent time. You're in my thoughts.

Dear Eve,
You've been through so much and now you have to go through this. It isn't fair. I have tears in my eyes and will be thinking of you and praying. Be brave and strong! But look after yourself too and try to get some rest! You come across as a wonderful person and deserve a life of your own one day when all this has passed. You're such a good daughter to your mom and I'm sure, deep down, she knows that. Love and hugs,
Siobhan xx
It's bitter hard.
God keep.
Yes, she needs that peace, a blessed release. Thoughts and hugs and love with you as ever.
Oh, Bailey - Major hugs and cyber support.
Hospice is wonderful though. My Godmother who passed away four weeks ago was put into their care and it was the best thing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Mom during this heartbreaking time.
Praying for peace for you all.
Hugs,
Sue
