I have not been on here ... I am just lost. My sweet Momma is fading friends. I am sitting her bedside as I write -- in the quiet. Her swallowing has slowed down to very little each day, and I am not getting much down at all. My heart is shredding ... As much as I thought I was ready for this, I am not. Please whisper prayers.

Dear Kim, my heart goes out to you. I hope you are not doing the day to day care anymore, as I have said before, it’s time to just be her daughter now. Nothing else matters, for her or you.
Sending very large hug and much love

Im the one with CBD but lost my own mother 8 weeks ago not to COPD . I sat in the hospital with her everyday and nights when the staff would let me .I whispered in her ear all the best times I had growing up and how loved she made me feel It’s all you can do is just be there with her . Nothing can prepare you for the last breath but you being with her will be such a comfort to you both .. sending love and hugs ❤️
My heart goes out to you and your Momma. Prayers always...Hugs
Whispering payers for you both lovely lady. One cannot ever be really prepared for it espcially when you have given her so much love and time and still are giving. Please try to eat yourself even if it is little and often. Big hug AliBee x
sorry to hear that God bless
Oh Kim, sorry to hear this! Whispering prayers for both of your hearts.
Praying for you both. May you know His peace.
Sending you both my love and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers x
Dear Kim my heart is breaking for you, I remember this time so clearly it is so hard. Just keep talking to your dear sweet momma and hold her close. When the time is right and you will know when make sure she knows that you will be ok and that she is free to be ok. Tears are flowing as I write this, it’s so hard. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you both so much love and hugs. Love Sarahx
Sorry to hear that. But, we are never ready for this. Painful to watch people near to us as they slip into this state. I remember my dad's struggles. Make sure that she is not choking on her food. When that happens, some of it will go into her lungs resulting in aspirational pneumonia. That was my dad's end stage. There is little we can do other than be by their side and make them feel loved and cared for. I wish her peace. And, I wish you strength.
Sending you warm hugs of strength and love. You are an amazing daughter. xx
Loving thoughts and prayers for you and your lovely Mum. Hold her tightly and stay strong. Sylvie.xx
Dear Kim
Sending gentle prayers and hugs from afar. No one could have done more than you have for your darling Mom. Take heart from that as she moves into the final stages of this devastating disease.
Huge hugs Anne x

Thoughts are with you both. Just think how much comfort your Momma must gain from knowing you are with her, may that knowledge give you fortuitude for the coming days.

Luis
Thank you Luis ((hugs)) I appreciate you in so many ways over the years.
I have been thinking about you a lot as we are both at a similar stage on this cruel journey. Thoughts and prayers are with you, may the strength you have shown so far stay with you when you need it the most. Big hugs xxx
Thank you so very much -- this has been such a hard journey, and feeling helpless. How are you doing? ((hugs))
Very much the same as you Kim. Mum still having some good days (hours) though so we are making the most of them while we can. Her weight loss has been rapid recently too as she's not eating much at all. I hope you find some comfort knowing there are so many people on here thinking about you, knowing exactly what you are going through. Sending lots of love. Tracie xx
Tracie -- I sit bedside tonight with my sweet Momma. She can no longer swallow food, and ice chips now for two days. She has lost all her weight -- lots of difficulty in mucus build up -- my heart is shredding tonight. Hugs to you - Kim
Kim,
We are all thinking of you. You are such a force for good on this forum. We all wish there was something we could do......... we are all sending love.
Richard x
Richard -- your words. I appreciate your kindness --- Im sitting here in the dark, bedside -- tears just flow --- the support of everyone on this forum has been my go to all these years. Deepest of gratitude --- ((hugs)) xo Kim
Dear Kim, it’s so hard to witness the decline of someone you love so dearly. At the end of the day we all have to face up to the fact that we are not immortal and when the time comes it is an honour to support the person you hold so dear, as their life slips away. I felt very honoured to have been there for my husband in the knowledge I had tried my very best to make his life as good as it could be and I know for sure that he was grateful that I was there to offer the love and support he deserved.
You have been such a rock for your dear Mom and she too will be feeling the love and support you have always showered her with. It may be that she is tired of the difficult last few years she has endured and happy to leave the suffering, I think that’s how I would feel at this stage of the disease.
I hope this message is of comfort to you.
Sending love
Kate xx
Thank you so much Kate -- my heart breaks more everyday -- i will post an update. It has been an uphill climb. xo Kim
My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
Big hugs to you both!

Thank you Jen - ((hugs))
Kim,
I have been thinking about you and your Momma. I hope and pray you are doing as well as can be. You have been such an outstanding carer for your Momma, and she has been such a great patient. Just stay close to her and let her no how much you love her.
Hugs and prayers for both of you. Hang in there.
Dick
Hi Dick -- Thank you for reaching out to me. We are hanging in there as best as we can. She isn't taking much down -- it breaks my heart. Ice chips, some yogurt today (not much), pureed applesauce like pouches that I've stocked up on ... she is no longer able to use a straw --- she has lost so much weight -- skin and bones at this point. I just dont know how long her body can keep doing this. Again, thank you for checking in -- my heart is shredding every day. ((hugs)) Kim
