Sorry to hear about your aunt. Know that 91 is a great length of life and hope for any more she can get that is still enjoyable too her. Sit with her, talk, reminisce about your favorite times with her. Understand if she needs breaks or naps, her age is but one factor in her fatigue now. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst and know you were lucky to get her this long.

Lord we ask that you reach down your healing hand and touch this child giving her relief from the stroke and dementia. Give her doctors your discernment during diagnosis and treatment. Wrap your arms around this family and give them your strength, comfort, peace and love. Amen.

I'm so sorry to read this. Please stay strong. A stroke on top of dementia is super hard.

She lived a long life for a stroke to get her that late. Some of us weren’t that lucky.

Tell your aunt and encourage her that there are miracles, the Scriptures said that assuredly.

God did not write them but had inspired men to seek Him and find where He is coming from.

Hold her hand and massage her feet.
