I'm doing the night shift with her tonight. She hasn't eaten for days and only managed an occasional sip of water through a straw. She hasn't been conscious for most of the day (probably due to her meds been increased) when she is conscious she can barely speak and is confused)
It's been a painful long drawn out illness.
I'm afraid to close my eyes in case I wake up and she's gone.
nailit, I know exactly how you feel, I honestly do.
It is one of the hardest things to do but, believe me, you will do it. The thought that your mum will be out of pain will keep you going. You remain in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for you, Nailit.
Stay strong for your Mum.
I think playing some of her favourite songs softly, is a good idea, like Pixie suggested. Gently talk to her too.
Nailit, I really feel for you, I am gad that you see her end as a blessing. Stick in there, My Mum went recently, a couple of hours after I left her, though she wasn't alone, I regretted it. Take this opportunity to be a comfort to her.
My heart goes out to you Nailit. And hard as it may sound, I hope you are right. Your poor mum has suffered enough...she deserves peace. As do you and your family. xx
