But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.

Please bless every mother who has Alzheimers disease.

She taught us to cross streets and be safe. -- Help her not to get lost, even in her familiar surroundings.
She held us close in the terrors of the darkest nightmares. -- May she not be frightened today by the reality of her life, which is strange and totally out of her control.
She cooked thousands of meals over decades of time. -- Please allow her to accept the caring hand that now feeds her.
She changed diapers, Lord, and served you each time she did. -- Please give her now the humility and grace to be served in this way.

For a Mother who has died
Dear Lord, relying on your promises to us, I turn to you in trust that my mother is with you and that she is enjoying your loving embrace. You alone know how she loved the best she could and how she faithfully endured the struggles that she faced. You know the graces you gave her and you know the grace she was for me and for so many. For all the ways she truly loved the way you loved her, please reward her, Lord. May she enjoy the communion of all her family and friends who are with you.
Lord, I know my mother still loves us who are still here on earth. I ask you that you might listen to her fervent prayers for us. Help me to grow into a new and deeper relationship with my mother now, as I long for the day when we will both meet in your embrace - freed from all that might have hindered our relationship on earth, knowing and understanding everything we did not know or understand on this earth.
I ask you this with faith in the resurrection, trusting my mother's love, and desiring that she know my love for her. Amen. Received a letter in the mail dated November 16th, 2012 on November 20th, 2012, telling me that my mother had passed away on September 20th, 2012, until now I did not know she was in her last days nor did the nephew notify me either did the nursing home that he has residents in since 2001. It is OK they are forgiven as they will have to be accountable to our heavenly father for their unfairness and unjust ways they have been acting here on earth is not for me to criticize or to the judge them I am very sure the heavenly father will deal with them accordingly to his justification.

"Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, my entire will... Give me only your love and your grace and that is enough for me." Ignatius of Loyola
Loving God,
She taught us to cross streets and be safe. -- Help her not to get lost, even in her familiar surroundings.

Loving God, the familiar eyes of my mother now respond with a blank stare. She is unable to carry on a conversation, to ask about her family or to serve in the central role she has in our family.
