angel

We just finished a fun, but very tiring, vacation. I always wanted to take my wife to Yosemite, I wish it didn't take ALS to get us there, but it did, finally. My sister and her family joined us, our kids and grandkids for a terrific trip. It can be a challenge to do what each of 17 people want...

Hi all and I just want to thank everyone for their help over the 7 months that Ron was failing. Just to let you all know that Ron passed away May 26th just after noon. He was in a coma for about two days and just passed away with no pain, no fear --- just like they say. I knew it was coming by...

February 28, 2015 at 2am my mom lost the battle to ALS and heaven gained an angel. I feel completely broken. My mom was 56 and was diagnosed in 2012. I miss her everyday. The only thing I know is that she is no longer suffering. I know its selfish to wish she was still here because I know she...

So sad to tell you all my hunny is finally at peace..... He got his wings at 2:00 this morning, Jan21 , 2015. Thank you all for your love and support. He passed on his own terms, we didn't have to start heavy meds, just passed peacefully in his sleep... I love you all, and will check in when I can.

I wanted to rant but after I typed it out I kept thinking of all I have to be thankful for and what an angel my PALS is. And she never gives in to ranting. So I guess that now my rant is that this disease sucks and I need to man up. "Ain't got time to bleed." (Movie reference)

I promised a eulogy. But found that sharing Elaine’s life is what we all have been doing. Going back, reading all her posts and thread contributions was a renewed education in how I would like to be. Not just thought of, but really ‘be’. Here, instead of a eulogy, I share some of Elaine’s...

My amazing, beautiful mother got her angel wings on May 28, 2010 at the young age of 59. She was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS on November 17 , 2009 and she lost her fight just 6 months later. I cared for her the best I could without knowing anything about this disease. I was so scared of losing my...

I can not find words for there is none that can describe what happened and how it affected so many . All memories, all smiles and laughs . Helene was not just a mother , she was also a friend , colleague and wife. She believed in goodness, that there was something good in everyone no matter what...

My darling mum lost the battle with als/MND today, almost 5 years to the day since her diagnosis. She was 55 years old. I still feel that the suffering and pain that she went through was not the full story... So much she held apart from us, to protect us, she was still a mother to the very end...

My eyes are swollen from crying off and on since 2:00 this afternoon when my dad came over to tell me the news that his issues are caused by ALS and not his back problems. I am absolutely devastated, he is 66 and has been having issues since summer time.. leg issues that have progressed to...
