At a loss for words

We just found out today that my mother in law has Alzheimer's.

We have wondered for a while, but we got the word today.

She is 70...
...and stubborn 
...and strong willed 
...and feisty 
...and a control freak. (Not that I know anything about those things!)

... and she is slipping away. 

My FIL has had to take the responsibility of taking her medications away from her.

I am at a loss.


My heart is broken.

I didn't know that. We will certainly be praying for Ellen and Denverd. Is this a recent thing?
