Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. I haven’t spoken of my mother on my blog before the last month or so because it just seemed too great a thing to speak of. I have always just kept things a bit “hidden in my heart”. I am blessed to have such prayer and support on my behalf during this time. God bless you all and your families.

I am sorry that you are having to endure this. I have another friend here that lives in AR who’s mother was shot by someone at a convenience store. My friend was 14 when her mom was shot. She was shot in the head, so she never recovered fully (and is like a very young child). Her father has taken care of her since that day – for soooo many years… and put up with her screaming at night all by himself. It amazes me that we can endure so much sadness and difficulty for those whom we love. The consolation is that one day, she will be in heaven and God is saving up a special treasure for those that sacrafice their selves to love and honor others. Remember your reward… even a cup of cold water is worth treasure in heaven.

Firefly,
After reading this post I want you to know that I understand what you are experiencing, as my grandmother recently passed away from Alzheimers. It is a terrible, terrible disease that brings hell on earth, not only for the person suffering from Alzheimers, but for everyone close as well. My prayer is that the Lord will bring peace to you during this horrible time, give you clear direction about your mothers care, and show you hope when there seems to be none. Please feel free to email if you want to talk further. You are deeply in our prayers.

Wow, that’s alot going on all at once. I’m so humbled that anything that I wrote was able to somehow encourage you, as you’re journeying through such a dark and difficult time right now, a valley of shadows.
Blessings, and rest to you~

I’m so sorry. My mom passed away in July—-her problem was hypertension, COPD, emphasema, etc. Her journey home took over 15 years. We finally got her in a nursing home during the last 4 years of her life.
Until you go through this turmoil there is no way to know what it is like. It is a club you DON’T want to belong to.
I prayed long and hard for the Lord to open a door for mom to have the proper care. It finally opened. I will pray for your family that a door will open as well.

Tears came reading this…
I am so sorry you have to bear this. It is so, so hard.
Some years ago, I went through a deep valley with a loved one. My world crashed, and I was ‘rocked’ by it. But I found that Jesus is indeed my Rock. That situation healed. I don’t know how yours will. I only know that Emmanuel – “God with us” – came for all this.
Praying for you as I write this…
