Alzheimers Patient's Prayer
Carolyn Haynali
Pray for me 1 was once like you. Be kind and loving to
me that's how I would have treated you. Remember 1
was once someones parent or spouse I had a life and a
dream for the future. Speak to me, I can hear you even if
I don't understand what you are saying. Speak to me of
things in my past of which I can still relate. Be
considerate of me, my days are such a struggle. Think of
my feelings because I still have them and can feel pain.
Treat me with respect because I would have treated you
that way. Think of how I was before 1 got Alzheimer's; I
was full of life, I had a life, laughed and loved you. Think
of how I am now, My disease distorts my thinking, my
feelings, and my ability to respond, but I still love you
even if I can't tell you. Think about my future because I
used too. Remember I was full of hope for the future just
like you are now. Think how it would be to have things
locked in your mind and cant let them out. I need you to
understand and not blame me, but Alzheimer's.
I still need the compassion and the touching and most of
all I still need you to love me. Keep me in your prayers
because I am between life and death. The love you give
will be a blessing from God and both of us will live
forever. How you live and what you do today will
always be remembered in the heart of the Alzheimer's
Patient.
