Alzheimer's

My father passed Friday at 7:25 p.m.  He is now in heaven in a perfect body and is able to remember who we are.  I am confident that he is watching over us even now.  The details of his funeral will be decided in the morning but the waiting is over and now we can bury his remains and mourn his passing.  All the while helping my mother get used to being on her own.  The last 18 months of her life has been sitting in a nursing home with my father who couldn't even talk to her.  She took very good care of a man who much of the time didn't really know who she was.  Now she will have so much time and will not know what to do with it.  I am afraid that she will want to lock herself at home and feel guilty about doing things and enjoying life without him being a part of it. Please pray for her, her name is Marie.
