My friend’s mother, her name is Kay, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease last year. It has been a very stressful and sad time for the family. It is such a devastating diagnosis and so hard to watch a loved one deteriorate in such a manner. Please pray for all of them. My friend is very concerned as he has a fear that his father could end up doing something rash to end the situation. I’m not sure how likely it is, but prayer would certainly help. Thank you so much. All of you and your request are in my prayers.
 
Diem,
I too am a full time caregiver to my Alzheimer’s diseased wife.

Here is a link to the Alzhiemer’s webite forums. They might find this helpful and comforting.

As horrible as this disease is, I have to say that it is also a blessing. I have learned more about humility, forebearance, patience, Love and charity in these nearly 8 years now than I learned in all of the previous 48 years of my life…

To you, to Kay and to her entire family I send my prayer for peace, for understanding for healing and for peace.

Peace
James

I’m so sorry to hear that. My Mom had Alzheimers and it was indeed heartbreaking to watch the intelligent, loving, happy person I had known all my life change before my eyes, and be unable to do anything to help her.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Remember, O Most Gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to you for protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of VIrgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.\

O Mary conceived without sin, pray to us who have recourse to you.

Mary, Health of the sick, pray for us!

Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

@Ted…Indeed. I’m sorry for your loss. Because you have been through it, your prayers are very valuable, thank you for praying.
