Not got long palliative care been in she's now on a syringe driver from when they saw her Friday till today she gone down hill do much, me and my sister are sat her just watching her slowly drift away from us. But the one thing I'm taking into account is she's no longer in pain

Hi Baggiebabe,

This is a really trying time for you and your sister. I know, because I lost my own Mum to metastases from breast cancer. She survived for 12 years from diagnosis and was told that she had metastases in her liver, lungs, bones and brain in her final year. Like your Mum, she deteriorated very quickly, but it was heart--rendering to watch.

I would agree with the pain thing though. It was almost a relief to see her pass and to know that she was finally at peace and no longer suffering. Isn't it odd that if we have an animal which is suffering, we can put it down and stop their suffering, but we just leave human beings to suffer, no matter how bad their pain is?

All I can say is that I am thinking of you all and praying for a peaceful end for your Mum.

Plase keep in touch and let us know how she gets on. Remember, that there is always someone here for you whenever you feel like talking.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Last night I lost my beautiful brave mom to this awful disease she is finally st peace now knowing her family was with her and she's reunited with my dad

Oh Baggiebabe, I'm so sorry to hear that. It must be of some small comfort to know that your mom was surrounded by love when she passed. 

On behalf of the team here, please accept our sincere condolences. 

With sympathies,

Hello Baggiebabe,

I am so sorry to hear that your Mum has finally succumbed to this horrible disease and offer my sincere sympathy to you and your family. The one consolation is that she is no longer sufering and she is now reunited with your Dad.

Thinking of you all,

Hi 

I am at Present going though the same thing as you Hun, heartbreaking to watch my mum just been put on the syringe driver this morning. She slept all day so far, just hope she slips away peacefully very soon, as much as I don't want to lose her, this hanging about it horrible mum always said she wanted to quickly let's hope she gets her wish. I full understand you pain xxx

Hi Skyrock,

I am so sorry to hear that you are experiencing end stage with your Mum.

You have my sympathy, as it is a very difficult time. I lost my Mum to metastases from breast cancer 20 years ago. She wanted to go quickly at the end too, but she had 12 years from her primary diagnoses. She was told about the secondary diagnoses in her final year. It was in her liver, lungs, brain and bones  and she deteriorated very quickly after that. It was really heart-breaking to see her suffering and in so much pain, yet there was so little that we could do to help her.

I hope like you, that your Mum has a peaceful passing. I know that you don't want to lose her, but it s so very hard to watch a loved one suffer.

Thinking of and praying for you both,

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
