Lynn, Sorry for your loss, my prayers & thoughts are with you and your

family.LOL Pat,SC

--------------------------------------------------------------

My dad's journey ended peacefully at home last night. He was holding the hand

of his life-long companion - my Mom- at the time. His death was a relief to

us all. He is at peace now.

Words cannot express my thanks to all of you for the words of support and the

prayers that you have sent my way through this difficult time. The lives of all

of my family have benefited through your kindness.

My goal to to make sure that something good comes of the difficulties that we

have faced over that last few years. I will continue to work in getting

information out and helping the cause that many in this place are addressing.

Again, thank you for the love you have shown me here. I couldn't have helped my

dad in this way without you all.

Love to you all,

Lynn

Lynn,

Words escape me. The sweet release of the beast is your father's final gift.

I am so glad that he was not alone. May your family now find some of the

peace that has been fleeting over that last few years. A special big hug to

your mom. She must be one beautiful lady.

In time, I hope that you continue to share your experiences here.

Sending long ribbons of love into the winds and prayers unto the universe.

Many Blessings to you and yours,

Betty

Lynn,

Condolences to you and your family. Please let us know how you are

doing. While your Dad is at long last peaceful, your mom now has lots

of adjustments. I hope things go well for her.

I am sorry for the loss of your dad. I am relieved that he went peacefully

and that he is finally rid of the beast. I wish you and your family much

love through this sad time.

Oh Lynn!!

What can any of us say???

Just know that we shed tears with you.

Your dad has peace at last.

'The Beast' cannot hurt him anymore.

NONE of our loved ones died in vain. One day there will be worldwide

recognition of this brutal condition. We will keep going!

This bastard LBD ... it just has to be defeated one day!!!

Sending our love and prayers to you and your family.

You did a wonderful job for him - we are all proud of you!

I am so sorry for the loss of your father but not the turmoil of the

disease. Let his peace be yours. I have only been online for a short time

but I know you were the best you could be. , though demented, said

to me the other day, " You know from the time we are born we are just waiting

on the Lord. " Hugs and prayers to your family.

Lynn,

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dad. I'm glad to hear

your mom was with him, and that his passing was peaceful. Please

allow those tears to flow, as they will help heal your broken heart.

Oh, Lynn, I just logged on for the first time today. I so dreaded seeing the

subject line on your post. I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I

am sure your emotions must be so mixed right now. You and your family are so

wonderful. How special for your Dad to be able to be home holding your

mother's hand when his time came. It must have been such a comfort for him.

You and

your mother are such an inspiration to me. I so hope I have the strength to

do the same for my father.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know how you are

doing whenever you have time.

Much love,

Piper

[Guest guest]

My condolences to you, Lynn. The longer my mother lives in the

nursing home, the more and more I am aware that there comes a time in

each life when the best you can wish for is a peaceful passing. It is

a blessing. But there will be a hole in your life because LBD

consumes so much of everyone around it. May you find peace, too.

Hi Lynn,

My deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time. I guess

it's a mixed blessing....although its a very sad time, you are also

aware that your Dad is free now in a place where there is no LBD.

Take care of yourself and know that somewhere out there in

cyberspace I (and many others on the board) are thinking of you.

Hugs,

I have an old feeling that the death of a loved one is like the breaking of

a glass....all the edges are sharp and the wound really hurts..as time goes

on the edges get less painful and maybe in time all the edges smoothe

out....not yet but maybe in the future....love to you.

Lynn,

My sympathies to you and your family. It has only been a month since my

mother passed and the pain is getting a little tiny lighter.

If I can help you in any way I will be glad to do so.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Lynn:

I'm sorry I responded so late to your post about your dad's death.

Every sentence, every word of your post to us reveals how grateful

you are that your dad was able to end his life peacefully after

having suffered for so long. I'm so happy that he died holding your

mom's hand and was relatively tranquil. None of us can want anything

but what you describe for our LBD loved ones.

Peace and love to you and yours at this time. Please know we would

love for you to post whenever you feel you can. I personally learn

so much from people like Donna, Sally, Simmel and countless others

who continue with us and help us help our loved ones.

Lots of love and serenity goes out to you today from me in Toronto.

Simmel,

I liked your description of broken glass and pain of death.

Thanks too for sharing with us Liem last days up to the ICU. It must be

very difficult to share this.

Dear Lynn

I was so sorry to read of your Dad's passing. You will miss him

terribly. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.

Love

[Guest guest]

Oh Lynn - I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad.

I'm glad he was home with you and your mom though .. I keep thinking about my

Dad being all alone at the rehab center.

We keep saying this isn't the end stage andhe will be coming home again ... but

some days I wonder. he sleeps most of the time

although he does know we are there - he doesn't talk - tries to say a few words

but that's it. I don't know if its frustrating for him - or he

doesn't really know. I hope he doesn't even know.

I'll email you directly - I hope you don't mind I have some questions. I thought

I'd found a friend with something in common - this nasty

disease ... but God took your Dad already - I feel so bad - I have tears running

down ...and I only " met " you a few weeks ago.

HUGS

Dear Lynn:

I am so glad your mom has plans for the future and to enjoy the things she

has been missing all these years. They do get lonely, but having the family

around helps. We all visit my mom and she is doing very well now. She decided

to have her left knee replaced. She had a knee replacement on her right knee 2

years ago and went very well. She is 87, but wants to be able to walk and

keep up with us! She says her bad knee can only get worse.

They gave so much all those years, now they have to take care of themselves

and look to the future to continue contributing, in a more pleasant way.

The hospice system was a great help for us as well. I am glad your mom will

be helping there, but don't let it get her down. Make sure she balances it

out with joyful activities as well. Hugs to both of you,

Josie

[Guest guest]

Lynn:

This sounds great. Your mom's plans for herself equate to living a

life she's been thus far denied.

I'm so happy for her and for you who don't have to worry about your

mom grieving incessantly and not enjoying the rest of her life. That

must be such a relief for you.

When the time comes and my dad is no longer with us, I hope my mom

has some of your mom's drive and zest!

Abby

[Guest guest]

Kudos to your mom.

She sounds like a very strong woman.
