Ep 9. Remembering Me

This episode of Touched By An Angel, titled "Remembering Me," follows a woman named Emily who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Emily's husband, Tom, is struggling to come to terms with the fact that his wife no longer remembers him or their life together. As Emily's condition deteriorates, the angels are sent to help guide Tom through this difficult time.

As the episode begins, Emily is clearly confused and disoriented. She forgets where she is, who Tom is, and even what year it is. Tom is heartbroken watching his wife slip away from him like this. The angels, Monica, Tess and Andrew, show up to offer their assistance. They explain to Tom that Emily's memory may be fading, but her soul is still intact and they offer him hope that there are still ways for him to connect with her.

The angels encourage Tom to start a journal to write down all of his memories of their life together. As he begins to write, memories flood back to him and he remembers all the reasons he fell in love with Emily in the first place. He shares the stories with Emily, hoping to jog her memory, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Frustrated and feeling helpless, Tom questions why God would allow his beloved wife to suffer like this. The angels remind him that everyone is here for a reason, and that even in the midst of suffering, there is something to be learned. They encourage him to have faith and trust God's plan.

As Emily's condition worsens, Tom struggles to provide the care that she needs. He decides to go to a support group for caregivers in similar situations. There he meets a woman named Christine, who is also caring for her husband with Alzheimer's. Together, they share their experiences and offer support to one another.

The angels continue to watch over Tom and Emily, knowing that Emily's time on Earth is coming to an end. They gently guide Tom to take Emily on a trip down memory lane, visiting all of their favorite places and sharing stories of their life together. Tom realizes that even though Emily may not remember everything, the love they shared was real and will always be a part of her.

In the end, Emily passes away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones. Tom is comforted in the knowledge that Emily's soul is at peace and that their love will never die. The angels remind him that they will always be there to guide and protect him, even after Emily has passed on.
