Hardest journey …

[bazooka111]

I’m sitting here in disbelief this morning ; this day 12 without nutrition or hydration. She is hanging on and my heart is just broken. She is in no pain, resting comfortably… I just never imagined 12 days like this.

Prayers please

Oh Kim, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Have you told your mom it is OK for her to go and you’ll be OK. I did on the morning of the 10th day, told him I loved him, thanked him for being a wonderful husband for 44 years and said we will meet again one day. He left me that evening.

I pray your mom remains peaceful until she passes on to a better place. With love and a big virtual hug. XxxX

I am so sorry to read that you and your mum are at this point and are having to say goodbye, I know your mum will still feel your love and even though it is so excruciatingly difficult, how amazing that she has you to help her pass on… what a comfort that must be for her and what a blessing - this is a true testament to the love that you both have shared in this life and love continues beyond the next step. I’m sending you prayers and hugs, we are all with you as fellow journeyers xxxx

[Hiking13]

oh Kim my heart is breaking and there are simply no words. Like others have said I told my lovely husband that it was ok for him to go and that I would be ok and that he wasn’t to worry about me and that he could let go . It still took him a while as he was a strong person and your dear momma is also a very strong person as are you. This is so hard for you but you will get through and your momma is so proud of all you have done for her. Keep talking to her and keep doing what you are doing you have people all over the world thinking of you both on this the most difficult of journeys. Sending so much love Sarahxxx

[Katiebow]

Thinking of you both at this difficult time. Your dear Momma has done her fighting now and will be grateful that the end of her life is peaceful and pain free supported by her beloved daughter. Even when we know the inevitable is imminent it doesn’t make it any easier to face the fact we are going to lose the person so close to our heart. Sending love. Kate xxx

We are all thinking of you and your lovely Mum. Wishing you strength and sending big hugs.Sylvie.

[AJK2001]

Keep talking & sharing memories with your dearest Mom. take comfort that she is comfortable and at home surrounded by love. It is 3 years on 5th since my Mum passed away and knowing Mum was in familiar surroundings with people she loved gave me a certain peace. I hope you may find the same. Love & hugs xxx

[messier]

prayers for you and your family Kim. Take heart that she no longer needs bodily nourishment, and is at peace.

[Heady]

Oh Kim, what can any of us say. Of course we are praying for you and your Mum.

As others have said, give her permission to let go, reassure her you will be OK and that you love her. My last words to Steve were, “ let go, I love you”, he then breathed his last. A moment I will always treasure.

I pray that your Mums passing will be peaceful. You are both in my thoughts.

Sending very large hug and much love

Lots of love

Anne

[LFG3]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dear Mom.

Thank you for sharing your journey on this forum, showing us all how to be kind and compassionate caregivers to our loved one. The love you and your Mom share is so apparent in every post. She will never be far away, as she will always live on in your heart. ❤️

[bichonbear1]

My thoughts and prayers are with you, stay strong

[Troubleandstrife]

I’m so sorry. I feel this. I did this. You can too. It’s brutal. My husband waited for me to leave the room. He was too polite to die in front of me. I’m sorry.

[MarieFW]

This was me with my Mom 3 weeks ago. Heartbreaking. Just want to say how immensely I feel your pain. ❤

[Bhill46]

Joining with everyone who is in this support system in praying for you and your mother, to whom you’ve shown such deep love, understanding, and compassion whilst maintaining her dignity and her sense of herself as being your mother. Do keep talking and singing the hymns and songs she loves to her - she hears you and will feel your love. Does she have a cozy hot water bottle on or next to her tummy? This was my British grandmother’s primary comfort aide. Much better than even the best heating pad! Hoping Hospice is there to support her, you and your family while your mother gradually lets go of this earthly life and enters into the Light. She will always be part of you, and you of her. I hope you will be comforted in the days, months and years to come knowing that you gave your Mum the best, loving care any person could ever hope for. Thank you for sharing your long journey together so openly with all of us.
