Extubated my mom

[fallen_leaf]

She looks peaceful now. It’s just a matter of time. Spent all day there so came home. My sister came in from out of town and is spending the night. I think it will affect my brother the most. She was so loved by so many. But she donated her body to science so we won’t have a funeral. Maybe just a service. I hope she is free and happy and comfortable and pain free. If she last more than a couple of days we may move her to my disaster of a house. I’m not sure how my 5 and 9 year old would be. If it would be a learning experience or traumatizing.

Thinking of you.

Children cope well if they are included and things are explained to them in a way they can understand. They sometimes get the idea that it was something they did and blame themselves.

look after yourself

Thinking of you all and sending heartfelt wishes for you to make the right decision regarding your children. Speak to them in a way they may understand. They might want to be included in everything. Be together as a family. I wish your dear mother peace. Xxxx

Such a hard time for you fallen_leaf. There's not much to be said but to wish you all strength. No matter what the circumstances, I don't think you can prepare much for a death. No matter how expected it may be, it's the hardest thing in the world to actually experience and deal with. As FredaE and sassy59 have said, be as honest with the family as you can. Use facts but in the kindest way you can find. And thinking of you all at this sad and difficult time.
