Sunday mass.

My mum who has Alzeimer can hardly fix her attention more than few minutes on the same subject, when watching a film I realize she doesn’t understand anything but she seems to find pleasure and peace when we sit together.
My mum has always been very involved in catholic associations and charities, she helped a lot at our church and in our catholic schools. So I wasn’t so surprised to see her very focused on the mass on the tv on Sunday morning, she’s not able to sing, I’m not sure she understood everything but I was happy to see her calm ( usually she’s more agitated) and watched the entire mass, very focused ! It’s a pity we don’t have the Vatican channel for her !

A lovely capture. I feel for you and understand as I never could before. It's not easy seeing what's happening to our mothers. Wishing you happy and well holidays with family.

Corinne, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us as you visit with your mother. My thoughts are with you.

[Esther Rosenberg]

You are doing such a great time with your mom. Nice to spend time together, no matter what you do.

So thoughtful, finding positives despite all these challenges

I like how focused your mom is, especially after reading your narrative. And the soft colors of the curtains and tv make it a lovely picture.

This is so lovely that she is able to find some tranquility in watching the mass and hearing the words she has heard all her life. Nice Story image!

I'm so glad she found comfort with you watching the mass. My mom had Alzheimer's and the moments when she came back to us briefly were so precious. It so nice that you have this time together.

The ancient words and traditional format of the service as well as the music may be triggering something deep in her memory. Special moments.
