The struggle for Mam is over now In the end we stopped her having a syringe driver fitted until Friday she needed it then for pain relief .prior to that they wanted to fit it on Monday and we felt it was too early as she was still eating and drinking small amounts and sitting up talking to us but as the week went on this stopped until at the end by Thursday we knew she was going in her own time and on her own terms. the family where with her day and night and told her we would be ok she could go any time she wanted to. we prayed for her and she tried to open her eyes I think she was pleased. she went home to God at 4/18 pm last night. Thank you all for your kindness and support xxx

Aah, what a sad day for you all. It was our pleasure and we send you all our very best wishes and sincere condolences. You did your very best for your mam, and she knew how much you all loved her. They often do know in their hearts when the time is right for them to go, and you gave her permission to go, and allowed her the dignity of choosing when, surrounded by her loving family. She is pain free now, and at peace. May you be comforted in this during this time.

With love and best wishes,

MAS Nurse Team

I am so glad that your Mum went peacefully in her own time. Having lost my Mum in September I know how important this is. My prayers are with you at this sad and busy time.

I know how you feel. My Dad was eating a little just 2 days earlier and looked better but then went into a coma after having his morphine upped. I spoke and said to him that if he feels he has to go then he must. Most of the family had gone out to eat but 3 of us stayed close by near his room. We were called quickly in by my sister who had stayed with him along with my mother but he passed away. I can't help feeling that he waited until we were out of the room but we'll never know will we? I can tell you that the first year is the worst. The first anniversary of everything: his death, his birthday, his wedding anniversary and the first Christmas. Your Mother is at peace now and thank you for sharing this with us.
