You have my empathy and best wishes.

Alzheimer's is just a sod, and there's no way round it. I'm sorry, OG. Best of all to you and yours. Simon X

It's always hard to lose a parent. I'm so sorry to hear about his situation.

DomMeinCT -> RE: My stepfather is dying (4/22/2012 6:54:58 PM)
OSG, my deepest sympathy for this struggle you and your mother going through. As terrible as this part of his life is, it sounds as if he lived a good, honorable life and was deserving of the love you both gave him. Not everyone has such fond memories to leave with their family....good for him. Hospice services are wonderful and they continue well after a loved one dies - glad you know about that.

OsideGirl -> RE: My stepfather is dying (4/30/2012 3:58:09 PM)
He passed away this evening around 6:15pm. I'm so relieved his suffering is over and I'm so sad that this wonderful man is gone.

MistressDarkArt -> RE: My stepfather is dying (4/30/2012 4:06:21 PM)
Blessings to you and your family, OsideGirl. I'm sorry for your loss. I've been through this...twice...feel free to drop me a note on the other side if things feel overwhelming.

So sorry for your loss. It just sucks all around. We selfishly want a warm hand to hold, but we do not want them to suffer. Hang in there. Hug ya mom, cry when ya need to, and laugh when you can. Just remember to breathe in and breathe out. Anything else you can do for the next few days is gravy. ((((hugs))))

OsideGirl -> RE: My stepfather is dying (4/30/2012 4:23:51 PM)
MDA, thank you so much.

DarkSteven -> RE: My stepfather is dying (4/30/2012 4:36:44 PM)
My sympathies.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: My stepfather is dying (4/30/2012 4:39:40 PM)
~many condolences~ i'm glad he's not suffering anymore. I'm glad you were able to support him

LadyConstanze -> RE: My stepfather is dying (4/30/2012 4:47:40 PM)
Not trying to diminish your grief, but maybe it will help you to consider how he was and that he might not have wanted you to see him in the state he's in now? For any smart person losing their mind must be the worst nightmare ever. If it would happen to me, I'd actually prefer that my loved ones wouldn't come to see me, because it would hurt me more... So maybe the geographical distance is a blessing? And yes, your mom is lucky that he recognized her for so long, a friend of mine went through that with his father and he got very violent because he didn't recognize his own family. He said it was so difficult to remember the loving father he knew as a child when he saw this violent wreck of a person. Dementia and Alzheimer's is not only cruel for the person it happens to, but also for their care takers and loved ones.

Prayers sent, Osi. My condolences.

Please accept our condolences for you and your family.

LadyConstanze -> RE: My stepfather is dying (5/1/2012 1:50:27 AM)
I didn't even read that far. Please accept my sincere condolences and if you can, feel relief for him! Do not mourn his passing (unless it helps you to deal with the loss) but celebrate his life and everything he was to you by being happy, because from the way you described him, that's what he would have wanted for you!

Rule -> RE: My stepfather is dying (5/1/2012 3:20:10 AM)
I am sorry for your loss.

Awareness -> RE: My stepfather is dying (5/1/2012 4:27:05 AM)
The measure of a life is the joy we've brought into the world. While this is a sad time, take comfort in knowing how much joy he brought into your mother's life. And how these last sad moments are but a tiny fraction when measured against the decades they spent together.
