Dear God, my loved one remembers me less.
There, sitting alone in a world so far away;
when our eyes meet, there is no recognition - no hello.
The more I bring past joys to awaken the life that could be,
the more emptiness I find in those beautiful eyes.
My heart aches! My soul is full of anguish!
Where do I get strength and peace?
Be with me, O God! Give me strength to remember
the love of yesterday
when our hearts and souls danced together,
when we glimpsed eternity and laughed.
Give me the sight to see life that is from You,
filled with possibilities of love
For I refuse to stop loving even in my deepest sadness. Amen.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does
not
seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things. Love never fails." (NKJV)
One of our church ladies died several years ago after a lengthy spell of
Alzheimer's. At her funeral, two of her long-suffering daughters stood
beside
her open casket, beaming at me, and asserting, "Now she knows who she is
again!" That is the language of rejoicing and of love.
Prayer: Merciful Father, we thank You that Jesus assumed our burdens and
suffered for our sins. But some are assuming the burdens and suffering of
their
loved ones who are slowly slipping into the oblivion of Alzheimer's. Uphold
those who suffer, Father, both the afflicted and their loved ones; enable
them
to endure. May those of us who are spared such agony of spirit extend our
love, sympathy, understanding, and active help to those who undergo the
experience.
In Jesus' most precious name, we pray. Amen.

Here's another. Lord please bless those suffering from Alzheimer's. As their awareness of this world diminishes, increase their awareness of You and the world to come. Amen.
May God lift you up and bring you strength during this trying time. May he bring hope and hold her close under his wing and protect her always.
My mother in law's mother is also suffering from Alzheimer's. I pray for her daily. My friend's mother also suffered but thankfully she is with the lord now. She was a beautiful soul, very loving, kind, tenderhearted among other beautiful traits. She too suffered from Alzheimer's. In her last days she was unable to eat or drink and a couple of days before she passed she was also in a coma. At her bedside my friend and her daughter both prayed and watched over her as they knew her time was near. Her breathing was also very labored and she would constantly gasp for air. When she was calmed down and her breathing regulated my friend and her daughter sat on the couch next to her bedside trying to wind down for sleep themselves when my friends daughter finally heard her moving. They went over to her, she opened her eyes and smiled and murmured something and she passed as they held her. That was a gift from God which they are eternally grateful for. They too feel the same way. She is with Jesus now and that brings us great peace.
I hope it will bring you strength to know that God is keeping your mother, her memories and all that she is safe. I myself believe that if our minds aren't here they must be elsewhere. Perhaps just awaiting the soul to rejoin.
Thank You
Her breathing is becoming difficult
The medication is no longer working
I'm sorry for your loss
Thank you very very much
I try to help her a little but she will not let me
She is too proud
B
