Alzheimer's gets called "the long goodbye" but it's not even as decent as that. It's a stolen goodbye, a missed goodbye, as the person you love dissolves in unseen pieces until they're completely gone.
If Alzheimer's Could Speak …
Talk to me …
I can hear your words
and they still touch my soul.
Smile at me …
My eyes can see you and feel your heart
even if I don't remember how to smile back.
Hold my hand …
I can feel your energy when our hands connect.
It makes me feel safe and less alone.
Love me …
My heart can feel your Love even if
my words can't express mine.
Live your life …
Help me on my path but don't press pause
on your life. Be the vibrant person I know and love.
Trust the process…
I know this is hard and not what we planned
but trust the process. We can't control it but
we can choose our focus. Remember the good
times, know that I am ok and that ….
You are in my Heart always.

~A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN~
Perhaps you aren't ready yet
to have to say goodbye...
Perhaps you thought of things
you wish you said ~ well so have I.
For one thing, I would have told you
not to worry about me...
I'm with the Lord in Heaven now ~
you knew that's where I'd be.
I'm sorry that your feeling sad,
for I'm happy now...
I've asked the Lord to ease your hurt
it's hard at the beginning,
But I know you'll make through...
I hope it helps to know
that I'll be waiting for you

Together Again
A reunion occurred in heaven this week
Of the sweetest and most joyful kind
As Mom's spirit moved beyond this earth
Released from her mortal life
And what a reunion it must have been!
A joy beyond our conceiving
When Mom met Dad in heaven again
Ending her dignified grieving
And we are certain Dad is still holding Mom's hand
While she cherishes each moment by his side
And they're experiencing the joy of being together again
Catching up on the time they were denied
We are confident they are also looking over us
Hoping this happiness will lessen our pain
As we contemplate the joy that they finally feel
Now that they are together again
And though we'll miss them terribly
And will long for them with deepest grief
We are reminded that love is more powerful than death
And this knowledge gives us comfort and peace
We can still feel their love surround us
Giving us a desire to continue on
To try our best to live our lives well
In the ways they would have done
For we know this isn't the only reunion
Someday we'll be called back to be with them
For life can lead us to greater happiness
With the Lord and our loved ones in heaven
So although we'll miss our Mom profoundly
Our grief is somewhat lessened
For we are comforted knowing that she led a good life
And she and Dad are now together in heaven
