Welcome to Renza's Page!
Dear Friends,
My beautiful mother has been quickly fading away because she has Alzheimer’s. This disease has drastically changed who she is. Once an incredibly energetic, independent, wonderful and caring person, filled with life and in her element when with family and friends, she is now scared, doesn’t know where she is or who she is; she doesn’t speak and cries all day; she doesn’t know anyone around her and is totally dependent on her 3 daughters.
Rarely, for a brief moment, she may say a word, perhaps as a reminder to us that deep down my mother is still there. A couple of weeks ago, while I was hugging her to calm her as she was crying, I said ‘I love you, mamma.’ Somehow at that moment, she heard what I said and I truly believe she understood because she momentarily stopped crying and responded very softly with “Thank you.” This brought tears to my eyes. “Mamma, I miss you!”
As much as my sisters and I try to comfort her, it is heartbreaking because we are unable to improve her health; there is so much suffering and there is no cure. Alzheimer’s has robbed us of a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.
Please consider supporting the Alzheimer Society and raising awareness of the Alzheimer’s disease by pledging me for the Walk for Memories to be held on May 25, 2024.
Thank you.
