Hi HannaH

Your post about your Mum is exactly what I'm currently experiencing with my Mum. She's so brave and refuses to let go but she is breathing very rapidly and last night was in a lot of pain. I'm by her bedside at the hospital tonight, I'm staying here as much as I can at the moment as I feel that her remaining days are very few now. I feel so bad as I am sitting here willing her to pass as I don't want to see her suffering anymore but at the same time I'm desperate for her to stay. My Mum and I are so close and  being without her is going to really break me.

I hope your dear Mum is now at peace and you and your family are coping and helping each other:

I just  wanted to let you know that I understand how you are feeling/felt.

sendng you best wishes

Hi claire

I.am sorry you are going through this. Hopefully staff at the hospital can be of some help. Mum passed away on 29.6.22 at 10.15am with my by her side. I am so touched i got to share her last moments. As mum was at home we had to wait hours for district nurses to come and inject her.l which was awful. I hope the staff at the hospital are responding to your mums pain. In the last few days our aim was to keep mum asleep as she couldnt speak and we werent sure if the crying was pain, fear, or emotions..either was awful to witness. The day before she died i noticed her hands had been up by her face for days almost like she was bracing herself. We slowly massaged her arms and brought them down by her side. Lit candles around her and she was injected at 7pm with high doses of medicine on 28.6.22...she slept all the way through till she passed away at 10.15am the following day. 

Perhaps you can try and say what you need to say and keep topping up the medicines for her and keep her asleep if thats a possibility..you will know when time is near as breathinf slows down. They said it would take hours once breathing slowed but for mum it was minutes.

Try and be with her as much as you can and tell her how special she is and its okay to go. 

Love and hugs to you.. the last week was the worst. I hate cancer so much. I hope your mum is at peace very soon ♥️
