The Doctor Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 My wife's Mother has begun to refuse to eat. She's suffering from Ahlzheiemer's, and is fading fast. Please, hold her close in your hearts. I don't know how much longer she'll hold on. ~ Jack Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Bonnie Red Weasel Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 My girls and I will keep her in our prayers tonight and tomorrow, and I'll get my church on the prayer chain for her and your family no later than Sunday. May I ask her name? Feel free to pm it to me.

Red-Handed Jill Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I'll be keeping you and yours in my thoughts as well. I've been through this with close family as well, so know how tough it can be.
Capt Grey Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I lost my dear mother-in-law to this horrible disease. My deepest sympathies to you and your family, Mad Jack. You are all in my thoughts. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Jonathan Hawks Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Sorry to hear that Madd Jack. I can tell ya I know what you are going through to. Had a similar experience in the family. Thoughts are with you and yours Mate. Shoots anything that moves!!
Rumba Rue Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Difficult time, I think much more on the surviving family members than the person affected. There is nothing that can be done for your mother-in-law, her time here is coming to a close. Hold onto all the good things and the joy of life and treasure every minute we have on this Earth. Steady the wind into the sails The Spirit carries the ship Into the Infinite Universe Where there we shall all meet one day. Blessed Be.
Christine Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I'm all too familiar with this disease since working in a retirement home. I'm holding you in my prayers and thoughts. I've been a bit of a mess lately myself. My grandfather (really my great uncle, but he and my great aunt raised my dad) is dying, he's very frail, so weak. My grandmother is having complications from diabetes and may lose her leg. I think she's giving up since losing my step-grandfather in September. She's not taking care of herself like she should be. My dad keeps us posted on the situations. Ugh!
CaptainCiaran Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Praying that ye, yer wife, and others, Jack, are given extra strength to support one another through this tough time. Take good care. Ciaran I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.

StrangeBayPirate Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 My thoughts are with you and prayers are headed up for you and yours. Looks as though many people here have had this disease invade their families so we know how your feeling. Please let your family know prayers are headed up from all over. May the Holy Spirit comfort them all. Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum viditur

Capt.Rummy Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Im new to the forums but what your going through must be hard, its something my grandmother is going through. She cant speak english to me anymore and so I know its hard, maybe in a different way. Regardless my thoughts and prayers are with you.
The Doctor Posted February 24, 2006 Author Posted February 24, 2006 My dear friends, thank you so much for your prayers and support. My wife's mother shuffled off her mortal coil this morning in her sleep. Her struggles over, she rests in peace. We'll be setting off for Iowa in a day or two to attend the memorial service and make sure her father is all right. :) Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
