Prayer of an Alzheimer's Sufferer

Tears are rolling down my face! This is a serious sickness! My grandfather and two of my aunts when thru it. They are all gone now. It was rough for all of us! Excellent findings on this poem! You did a spectacular job with this image!

Oh my bonnie this is quite moving and a spoken word for those who cannot speak for themselves. Beautifully composed on one of you beautiful photos!

This is beautiful Bonnie. My father is in the throws of this wicked disease right now. He is being abused and manipulated by a drug addict he invited in off the street. There are no laws against elder abuse in my country – even if diagnosed with Alzheimers and found not to be capable.

This is very touching Bonnie. Thank you so much for sharing!

This brings tears to my eyes. My dear auntie in The Netherlands is slipping away and thinks that my grandkids are hers… I just keep sending her pics to keep a smile on her face…

Thanks so much for sharing this writing we us Bonnie!!

Thank you so much Bonine for this post. It is so beautiful and has touched me deeply. I have had several Aunts who have had Alzheimer’s and now a sister. It is so devastating to watch them slowly drift away.Another loved one is suffering from Vasculator Dementia which is close.
I will read this prayer daily!

This is extremely beautiful, and very touching thank you for sharing.

I lost a neighbor and friend to Alzheimers’s just about a month ago. This is such a moving prayer and card. Nicely done. xo

Absolutely stunning work beautiful picture and the verse is very touching too …..... Alzheimers is such a dreadful disease, its definate a favourite for me! – David :>))

Bonnie, this is a beautiful work, for personal reasons it says a lot to me. You may want to consider submitting this to the group “The Healing Journey”.

Hi Bonnie, CONGRATS on this well deserved feature of some very moving words, so beautifully done!! Take Care _{Rick & Deb} :)

This is just wonderful Bonnie, thank you so much for sharing this prayer! Alzheimer’s has a personal meaning in my life and I find this truly inspiring, it is a difficult road for all family members and sometimes we need to be reminded to focus on what our loved one is going through and not ourselves, and this work can motivate us to cherish every moment despite the disease…Congrats on the ImageWriting feature!

What a wonderful description of this horrible disease. For those of us who have family members that have had this or are currently in the throes of this, it gives hope that perhaps, although the patient doesn’t seem to recognize us, they really do. It’s so heart-breaking to go visit someone with this disease, they just seem to be “an empty shell” of their former selves. Wonderful picture depicting the tone of the message. Thanks so much or sharing this!

Thank you for puting this up. It strikes close to home

This made me cry! We had this disease in our family and it strikes to the heart and soul of anyone close to anyone with this disease! Dee

Wonderful words. It’s is such a hard disease for families to face. It tears you apart when you loved one doesn’t even recognize you. This is such a beautiful prayer. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Beautiful words…..brings tears to my eyes…
My dad suffered from Alzheimers…and didn’t recognise me for 2 years until the night before he passed away at 63….he said my name….told me he loved me…and went off to sleep…never to wake again…..
I wish I’d had this prayer back then…it’s pure magic…thank you

This has brought sad memories of my mum back to me. A truly devastating disease for everyone involved. Beatiful words.

It’s absolutelly overwhelming…I am speechless.

I’m currently a full time carer of a mother with Alzheimer’s, thanks for bringing this prayer to our attention in such a lovely way. It is an important reminder of the turmoil of the sufferer.

Wonderful, heart warming!

I spent two years working in a dementia unit. This touched me profoundly.

Oh, Bonnie, this is absolutely indescribable. I have no further words, except, “Very well done!”

Bonnie, I just loved this piece. I was getting really teary today thinking about the suffering my mother endured and I asked God if I could just feel her presence again. She died of Alzheimer’s on Dec. 3, 2005. The answer came so quickly, first in the bubblemail when you connected with me and now seeing this on your site. I know that she is with me, and that God used you as His instrument. I cannot thank you enough for putting this on Redbubble. God Bless you. Hugs, Carol
