Originally posted by Burnadell View PostPrayer sent, Curt. It is tough to watch our elderly loved ones suffer from both mental and physical deterioration. I still firmly believe that there is a need for a Dr. Kervorkian.
Originally posted by jerp View PostPrayers for you and your family. In my experience there is a stretch along that path that is particularly brutal and heartbreaking. That’s when they are still “with it” enough to be aware that they are losing their faculties. I can’t imagine how scary that is. Then there is a tipping point when they no longer understand there is a problem. Sometimes that starts a new set of problems, sometimes it brings a kind of peace. Prayers for peace for her and your family

Curt, you are doing everything you can and that's what is the most frustrating. Knowing that there's nothing you can do to help them is absolutely heartbreaking. I've had the same conversation with my sons. I will leave on my terms and not make them go through what you and your family are having to deal with.
I watched my parents go down this road with my grandmother and now I'm going down the same road with my mother. I don't believe there is any crueler disease than Alzheimer's / Dementia. I've added Mrs. Smith to our prayer list and you and your family as well.

So sorry to hear this Curt. I don't wish it on anybody. A borrowed prayer...
Eternal God, we cast all our cares upon You because You care for us. Lord we adore You because You want our burdens to be light. You will not let us face dementia alone, because You are always with us. Father we pray that in this journey we remember that although people may not understand, You do. You see our heart and our mind clearer than anyone else or any doctor. You are our best friend and the greatest physician, we love You Lord, Amen.
