I wish there was something more we could do for MaryAnn.......I am glad she has family with her.....this is way to hard to deal with alone......

Any news Cindy? I guess you even dread seeing her number show up on your cell.....you know how her heart will be breaking.......I pray you the words to help our friend feel comforted.......

No, none today. I don't think our little DM needs the aggrevation of feeling like she has to call every day. The family just needs to be together right now and the best I can do is to keep on praying and try to rally others to do the same.

your doing a fine job......I just figure she will need you to talk to when the time comes......I bet shes getting so wore out already......been in her shoes...I know shes not thinkin bout her own health right now......just hope shes can handle all this

Consider it done. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

DM has been in my prayers. As someone else said, this time with her Mom is so precious, I hope they are savoring each minute together. I remember the last time my Mom smiled at me, on Christmas Day 2004. It was a rare and precious thing in late stage Alzheimer's.

A short note from DM:

"Mom is still alert, knows everything, but is growing weaker.... She is only taking sips of fluids here and there... wt loss is very obvious. She's such a tiny thing anyway.

We are not doing anything to prolong her suffering, just pain meds thru IV.

My Sis let the cat out of the bag that my DD and her DD are coming in from NC on Sat.... So, I think my MOM is trying to be strong, so she can see them.....

It's hard to see her like this, but I know that it is something I have no control of.... Thanks for letting me get this out..... I just feel like talking.....

I will miss her so much.... Mom is my shopping buddy, my lunch buddy, my confidante, my friend and my angel....... Hugs to you all..."


Still praying for you all, little friend.

:hug: gentle hugs and lots of prayers dm.

ty for the update amn. :hug:

I have been replying to the prayer thread on Sanctuary for you Daisy may and for your dear mom Rosalyn

May God's peace be with Rosalyn and His comfort and love be with you DM, and the whole family
:grouphug:

I must say how uplifting you all have been to me in all this. I thank you.

I spoke with DM tonight and things are not much changed. Mom had a rough day yesterday which resulted in increased pain meds. Today was much better for her and DM said that she was joking and much more comfortable.

More family will come in this weekend and I am hoping that our friend will get some better rest. Things weigh heavily on her little spirit.

Continued prayers are so much appreciated.

The two granddaughters came in from NC to visit with Mom and DM said today that Mom is sleeping a lot more. DM believes that Mom has found her peace. Mom will remain at the same facility and move into their hospice care unit soon.

Thank you Cindy,
My thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diasy Mae and her family in this trying time. May God bless and hold them all.

All the best,
Chris

Thanks for the update Cindy.

DM, you, your Mom and family are in my prayers. I know how hard this is. My Mom was my pal too, and my sister's. We loved our lunches together and shopping. She always had a big hug, kisses and told us how much she loved us.

Thanks Cindy. DM you and your Mom continue to be in my prayers. :hug:

Thanks for the update Cindy. DM is one special person and so is Mom. Hugs and prayers for the whole family. :grouphug:

Okay, all. DM just called and Mom is now in hospice care and is gradually shutting down. DM is a real trooper and is leaning hard on her faith. It is especially difficult because of the timing re: DM's birthday, but what greater gift than to know that Mom will suffer no more?

She will be camping at the hospital with Mom full time now and will need our prayers more than ever.

Oh Cindy, words are just not enough here. Hugs and prayers to our DM and her family. Mom will be taken care of. DM has a great circle of friends who will always be here to help and love her. I'm babbling....

I'm so so sorry DM, there are no words.

My prayers and love are with you and your Mom and family. May you find the strength to get through this and acceptance for His will.

:hug:

My Dear Daisy Mae,
My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family. May you Mum leave this earth with as little pain as possible, and all the love that you and your lovely family have graced her with.

God Bless you all!:hug:

All the best,
Chris

I just spoke with DM and Mom is now on the steady morphine drip. Her pain had increased to an unbearable level and she had a 102° fever they could not kick. She is resting peacefully and breathing regularly. She was able to acknowledge her son today but drifted to sleep quickly.

DM's voice now issues a peace I have not heard since this all began. "My heart hurts... it just hurts too much to think about this," she said.

Mom will remain on the drip until God calls her soul and takes her home. Please help me pray for our friend, she is in a very vulnerable way just now.

Constantly praying for DM and Mom. Oh Cindy, my hearts hurts for her too.

Thank you so much Cindy for keeping us informed. This is sooooo hard for DM...God bless her and her Family.

Continuing prayers.:grouphug:

Thanks for the update Cindy. My thoughts and prayers have been with DM throughout this difficult time.

Hi, everyone, DM's mom (Rosalyn) passed away peacefully around 7:00 Saturday evening (June 16). Our friend allowed herself a a good cry and is holding up as well as can be expected. She is plainly exhausted but is showing tremendous strength. Your continued prayers for the family are most appreciated.



DM wants you all to know how grateful she is for all of your prayers and support. Also, I thank you.

.

My deepest condolences to DM and her family . May God bless and care for them in their time of need.

My heart goes out to DM and her family right now. I know Mom is in good hands now and resting peacefully. Thank you Cindy for your continued contact and keeping us all posted. :grouphug:

Thanks for the news. Praying that the new pain that our little DM now feels will soon ease.

Awwwww, so sorry for your loss, DM. I just know, that your Mom is with the Angels now.

God Bless you and your Family at this time of sorrow.

:hug:

Rosalyn, may you rest in peace.

Daisy Mae, my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your entire family during this time of sorrow.

Thank you Cindy for your care and concern for a true friend.

God Bless you all.:grouphug:

All the best,
Chris

I am so sorry I wasn't here for this news.......I just came on here to see how things were going for Dm.....
I know when I was with my dad in this same way.....there did come a time when I released him and was eased when I knew he was pain free again......
Its never easy but its understandable when you know they are suffering......

MaryAnn....My heart is with your heart at this time of sorrow......I know words cannot express how your pain feels....but love can help you to heal and time will fill your heart with loving memories.
Give yourself time and know the love being sent to you from your friends.

Love,
Kay
