Today I shopped for an suit to bury my grandmother in. I found myself determined to find something so she could look beautiful in. Her clothing was stolen from the nursing home and my horrible aunt threw out the suit I had bought her for my wedding. I then had to drop it off at the funeral parlor. Ugh...I will miss her but glad she isn't suffering anymore. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I had a grandmother die in a similar situation, not alzheimers, but a long painful decline. I know that it is a relief to no longer see them suffer, but it is still so hard to let go of someone you love. [ Reply | More ]

op: yes very true. I'm the first grandchild and was her baby. I'm just glad I have a life time of great memories with her and glad she got to meet my 2 dc. I'm pg now and the fact she won't know my 3rd is a little sad but even if she was alive for a few more months, she wouldn't have known what was going on [ Reply | More ]

It is sad to know that all that is left (here on earth at least), is memories. They will never be able to celebrate with you again. I'm sorry that you're going through all this while pg, that can't be helping. [ Reply | More ]

I'm glad that you have such good memories though, so many people let the illness color how they remember the person. I hope that the next few days go easier on you than today. [ Reply | More ]

Alzh. is tougher for the family/caregivers than for the patients themselves... you must be relieved too in a very sorrowful way. [ Reply | More ]
