Palative nurses in yesterday

[Gill4mum]

Another stage reached. Mum going down hill fast. Hospital bed arriving today for downstairs. Mum sleeps most of the time. Not eating and drinking very little. Palative care team very helpful. No time scale which is extremely hard. Just wish this nightmare would end for mum and us.

Remember being there. The palliative care team were so good and loving with Chris. It really helped. Hope they can keep her comfortable.

Big hug from Jean x

I know how you feel!

Have you got a 'gut feeling' other than just not long? Dr's just can't say specifically since it is different for all.

There are a number of posts from people whose loved one got to this end stage. Reading them may, or may not, help, depending on how you are feeling. You may have a few weeks or a few months.

However long it lasts, be sure and tell her you love her and that it is OK for her to go, that you will be all right. Her favorite music is good too, and make sure her family and friends visit to say their farewells.

Palliative care will help both of you through at this time and will keep your mum comfortable.

Thinking of you at this very sad time.

Big HUGS!!

I am struggling to find words of sympathy which are in any way of meaning.

It sounds like your in a horrible hiatus.

I'm so sorry.

All I can say is you are both in my thoughts.

Warmly

Kevin

Whether months, days or weeks Gill, it really sounds like you don't have long. I remember that "death watch" time with my mum: time seemed suspended - it wasn't normal human time. Long or short, it's a heartsore, sorrowful time as you prepare to lose your mum forever.

I send you hugs and wish for peace for both of you, soon. ❤
