A Prayer for the Dying
 

All,

My Mom, June J. McClure, is in hospice awaiting death. She is 82 and is in late stage Alzheimer's disease and is also blind as the result of some medical mal-practice. She had a series of strokes over the last few days. She has been unresponsive and has taken no food or water for the past three days.

For those of you who are believers,please say a prayer that my Mom passes easily and gently. For those of you who are non-believers, I would greatly appreciate your hopes and wishes that my Mom passes easily.
Thanks,

Tom A

You have mine my comrade in arms, along with my best to you, as I know how hard this is for you.

Tom A,

Alzheimer's disease has a strong line in my mother's family. I am very familiar with what you feel. Your mother will pass gently.

God bless her . The Gill family offers prayer and sympathy.

Tom, You have my best wishes. And take comfort in knowing that her passing will be a release.

You all have our prayers.

May the Lord grant peace and comfort to you all in this trying time.

Tom -

Our prayers are with you and your family. My mother passed away a few years ago at 92 under almost identical circumstances . . . and it was peaceful. May God grant you strength and peace in this difficult time.

Luke

For your mother and for you, my Heavenly Father comfort you in your time of need, and may you know that familetys are forever.

Tom,

My sincerest sympathies to you and your family. My mother works in hospice care here and frequently recounts stories of the loving care each person receives. I pray this is so for you mother.

Glen

Tom, My prayers go to you and your mom

Tom, I pray that your Mother passes gently and for you as well for the tremendous loss you will feel at her passing.

Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dust?
And, live we how we can, yet die we must.

Shakespeare

Love ya man! Jerry

As we are now they once were. As they are now we will one day be. Just try to provide the respect and dignity for who they once were as we wish for it to be for us when we are where they are. It saddens us, but all things pass. This time will too.

there is nothing like a mother's love. God's speed to her as she heads home. and to you, my favorite verse:

" Peace I give to you, my peace I leave with you....not as the world gives, but as I alone can give"... says Jesus

Tom,
You and your family will be in our prayers.

Tom, I got in rather late on this thread, and I, too, send my deepest wishes to you. It time like this that one needs siblings and family for help and support. In my field, I see this every day. It really breaks me up. I absolutely understand your feelings. If it's any consolation at all, I firmly believe the person at this stage of life is protected by her dementia and is totally unaware. It's the kin folk that need a shoulder to cry on and time to grieve and recover. God bless.

Added you all to my personal prayer list. I know your pain. I lost my mother to advanced breast cancer last June. I remember how hard it was to watch my mother pass like that. She too was on Hospice care. Hospice was a God send. May God be with you & your family.

May the Lord bless you Tom and your family in this time of sorrow. And may your mom find peace.

John 6:40
"And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

God Bless you
Michael
