When is the end? Mum now sleeping more and hardly speaking

Hi

I have been nursing my mum at home for the last 3 weeks but in the last few days she has deteriorated from being weight bearing getting in out of bed to use the commode to now sleeping all the time with the occasional few verbal words. She isn't drinking but has the occasional sips of water

she has a syringe driver and was catheterised for comfort yesterday but she's having a lot of breakthrough pain so the driver is being increased today.

I Feel so sad and to be honest guilty as I don't want this to go on as she is so uncomfortable when I move her

is the end near ?

  • Hiya

    i am so sorry for you both...my mum sadly fell asleep 14th April but it still doesn't feel real....just treasure your time with her because when the end comes it comes very quickly x

    I took so many photos in the last days and now I constantly look at them but nothing brings comfort ....

    the journey you are both on can't be changed but please believe me when I say you are not alone xxx

    Take care and stay strong
