Our Mother & The Long Bereavement.
We had to stand by and watch as Alzheimer’s Disease slowly drew you into its web, taking in stages
your reason, independence, mobility and finally the ability to express what you were feeling in that
ultimate phase.
We tried to imagine what was happening in your mind when we looked into your blank unrecognising
eyes.
We held your hand and talked to you, telling you of events in the family you used to be so much a
part of, not knowing if you had been able to understand us.
Who knows what confusion, terror and desperation you endured in the solitary confinement of your
mind during the brief windows of clarity you had.
We preferred to believe that you were constantly re-living the happy events in the full life you had
before the web of dementia began weaving its self around you.
We have for years grieved for the way that you were gradually robbed of the life you had before
dementia.
It is still with sadness that we finally say goodbye.
We have done our grieving.
We are pleased that finally you will be re-united with the love of your life George.
When he passed away nearly 26 years ago I remember you saying with deep regret that you ought to
have been with him holding his hand when he died.
That no one should pass away without a loved one at their side holding their hand reassureing them
that they were loved.
As you drifted slowly and peacefully into that final sleep and you stopped breathing, Angela was
there to hold your hand to let you know that we still loved and cared for you.
We give thanks for the good life you did enjoy before dementia started.
We say our final goodbye to the shell that was our mother.
The spirit that drove it all along has already departed.
My Sister & I thank all those who are lighting candles and adding their tributes.
Our hearts go out to all those who's loved ones
are allso suffering from Alzheimere's (Dementia).
Lucy was cremated at 11am on the 17th September 2008.
Angela lovingly produced a beautifull floral arrangement,the main colour being yellow Lucy's
favourite.

Love Lives On
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
far as long as there is memory,
they'll live on in the heart.xxx
Bridge of Love
There is a bridge of love
From our hearts to you
Where we've built love and memories
And admiration too.
This bridge of love is strongly built
To stretch far and wide
Keeping thoughts of our precious angels
Always by our sides
xxx
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

The Comfort and Sweetness of Peace
After the clouds, the sunshine,
after the winter, the spring,
after the shower, the rainbow,
for life is a changeable thing.
After the night, the morning,
bidding all darkness cease,
after life's cares and sorrows,
the comfort and sweetness of peace.

Free to wander
Hello Gran, Its hard to say goodbye to those we love but when we know that our loved ones are going to a better place it helps take some of the pain away. You are now free to wander where you will with nothing holding you back. You'll be able to meet up with Grandad George and your Great grandaughter Sami, may you all have love and laughter in your reunion. Think of us often as we will think of you with fond memories and a happy smile. Our love will be with you always. Till we all meet again. xxx
God Bless Lucy xx
There are times when we laugh,
there are times when we cry.
There are people who live ,
there are people who die.
some people are grateful,
some people are not.
when some people move on they are often forgot.
so send this to the ones you love,
and choose the life that fits like a glove.
good luck in life and try new things
listen to the way the angels sing
look into the sky and search for a dove
and never forget the power of love.
So read this poem and when you do,
always remember i'm thinking of you.All My Love Anne xxxx
