As some of you may recall, ex-RM95's Girl's Dad had Alztheimer's. He was diagnosed at an early age, around 50-51. He passed away fairly suddenly last night. Probably more of a blessing than anything since he was already in a home and they thought there was a good chance he could live for 20 more years. Anyway, she's met some of you and I'm sure her family could use the thoughts. Thanks.
Of course it does. I had one of those "deaths happen in threes" this week or so. My landlord's partner passed away after finding out he had cancer a week before. One of my best friend's grandmothers, who was 92. And now this.
You are exactly right, RM95, that her passing is a blessing. My grandmother (dad's mom) has been in a nursing home for over 3 years now with multi-infarct dementia (the next worst thing to Alzheimer's) and everyone in my family has been hoping that she will die, but she is still with us. You feel so bad for feeling that way, but the quality of life is so poor for her compared to what she used to have. But like bnb said, it still hurts. I'll remember your ex and her family in my prayers. +
tell me about it. i had never had anyone close to me die before until 2003. last year, two of my friends and my uncle passed away. one friend died in his apt alone after choking on his own vomit. he was 25. the other was T-boned in an accident. and my uncle had liver and kidney failure at 38.
