Mom's final journey has begun...

[mamaw1965]

I hate saying these words...my Mom is dying. Wednesday she was fine (her fine) hospice nurse had been here for regular visit and all was normal. Friday morning aide was here to bathe her and noticed that her breathing was faster than normal which it hadn't been earlier when I woke her. Then it turned into 4 or 5 really quick breaths and then it looked like no breaths then the quick breaths again. I called hospice and told them everything that she was doing which was more than just the breathing issue. Her eyes just looked like there was no light in them. they sent a message to her nurse and she was at our house within 15 minutes. All meds have been stopped except pain and anxiety meds. She is resting peacefully and family has been in to visit.

I can't tell her enough that I love her...my heart is breaking and all the emotions are overwhelming me.

I'm so sorry. You are doing a great job though and I'm sure your mother knows you live her.

Sending hugs and prayers.

I am so sorry! It is hard to grasp even when it is so hard to watch your loved mum suffer! You have done an amazing job looking after her!

We fear this ultimate stage and yet we must often all want an end to the suffering. Your mum sounds like she has made her decision not to continue. She sounds peaceful and ready. So try and accept that the battle is nearly over. She will hear you if you tell her you love her and that you will be OK if she leaves you.

You mentioned in another post that your dad was in the same Hospice. How is he?

I will pray for you all and that her transition continues to be peaceful and smooth.

Hugs to you all

My heart goes out to you. I hope you can rest easier knowing that your love and support of your mother has undoubtably given her comfort during her final days. xxx

This could be us. From day to day it's up and down. Breathing just like your Mom and then the next day he's better. I understand.

Keep in touch,

With great sadness I read this. Indeed this is a sad sickness, but how much can a person take. All I can say is that she know you were there for her and that alone is priceless. I know I will go through this also and the day it happens I just want the best for them and the comfort that I did all possible to make their lives comfortable and enjoy every moment with them. That's all we can hope for. Bless you and that your mom will be in a place where there is no PSP.....
