The last few days have been very stressful and emotional as my amazing wife is now sedated and on pain killer meds. I pray she has a painless and peaceful release from this awful illness.

I’m so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and strength are with you both. Your wife has been very brave and you have looked after her so well - she would be very proud of you I’m sure.

My Mum is now on palliative care at home, we’ve had all her ‘just in case’ medications delivered and she is deteriorating day by day. It’s quite scary to see how fast things can happen. I can empathise with you wanting peace for them from this awful illness - it really is such a heartbreaking disease.

Thoughts are with you.

Hello, we lost my father to GBM in May and I have to say the grief of losing him was balanced by the release for him and us. My mother, whom he was with for 60 years, relied on him for everything and although found things understandably tough, has mad great strides and new friends with time and has learnt to find happiness again. My dad was in no pain and the medication was excellent. I think he had already moved to his next realm a few days before he died so really it felt like his body was shutting down, completely naturally. I would'nt wish it on anyone but good things will come around again but in the meantime my thoughts and prayers are with you.x

Thank you for your very supportive comments. I feel exactly the same and thanks to the meds and amazing care of our community nurses my wife is in no pain and very peaceful. There is no doubt that we are in those final few days.

I'm so sorry to hear, you should be very proud of the wonderful care and support you have provided for your wife. It is exhausting for you, so do take care of yourself. I hope that you can find the fortitude to support her gentle release and be able to reflect on the precious memories you have.
