Things are getting harder every day

I spent the day with my mum today she has not been good at all, it's been very hard for me to see she was criying earlier, she is very down always in pain and I think she just wants to go now. She kept apologising to me today and I kept saying don't be silly. Me and her husband put her to bed, and  not long after she was screaming out that she's dying. Today has been the hardest day by far and I feel awful I want her to hold out for my sisters wedding this weekend but I also want the pain to be taken away from her it's so terrifyingbseeingbher suffer and I can do nothing. I don't know how much worse it can get??  Trying to stay strong but its very hard. Im living a nightmare.  Has anyone else come across all this near to the end?

  • My family went through something similar with my Mum in her last few days and weeks.

    It was only after my Dad got the GP on side that her levels of pain relief were increased to a level where the pain was under control. There is a natural reluctance by clinicians not to over-medicate as it can cause confusion and drowsiness, but they don't always get the balance right between that and pain relief which is why it is important for close family to be involved.
