I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I don't know what to say but i think it's amazing that you and your sisters take care of her. Wishing you lots of strength and good days ahead! 

I am so sorry about your Mum.  I nursed my Mum when she was dying of cancer, so I truly do know how you feel, and yes, it is absolutely devastating.........there is nothing that anyone can say or do that can make you feel better.  I have said it so many times before, but I will say it again, the loss of our Mother is one of the hardest things we will ever go through.  Remember to tell your Mum how much you Love her, because one of my deepest regrets is that I never told my dying Mum that I loved her, and it can not be said once they are gone.  Once again, I am so sorry for what you, your Mum and the rest of your family are going through, Violet, x

Hi

I'm really sorry to hear this. I know exactly how you feel as went through the very same last week. Unfortunately my lovely mum only lasted 2 days after they'd told her but circumstances were different. I'm at the angry stage at the moment and feel that more could have been done but I guess it's one of the stages of grief. I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this. The only comfort I get from it is that she is no longer suffering and that I did everything I could for her in the past 6 months and she knew just how loved and precious she was, just like your mum will. Never give up hope x 

So sorry to hear your news. We lost my Mum 4 weeks ago after a 2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. You cling on to the hope that she will survive longer, and then think you are ready for when the end comes. But nothing will prepare you for when the end does come. Initially I was relieved she was out of her pain but then all of the emotions set in, like guilt, regret, anger, sadness and numbness. I can't get over the fact that she had so much more to give (she was 71), but at the same time we were so lucky to have this special person in our lives who made us what we are. We had the funeral yesterday, it was a lovely send off but then afterwards the sadness and longing sets in again. It's a long road but I'm hoping I will soon start to have done days when I'm not constantly sad. Tell your Mum that you love her so much and the things that you are so thankful for - I said this to mum a few days before she passed and it helped me to know that she knew this. All the best xxx

In a very similar situation to you know. Last night the nurse said my mums's in her last few hours but it's now the night after and i am trying to stay by her side as much as I can. 

That's so nice that you're taking care of your mother in the comfort of your own home. It obviously comes with its own difficulties but the positive is that she will pass in a place that feels familiar and loving. My mother is in a hospice by her own choice and I often wish i could take her to lay in her own bed or on the comfy garden chair so she can gently fall asleep. Hope it works out okay for you. My mother has been hallucinating a lot and i'm constantly scared and full of regrets about not doing enough for her, about not staying at a time when she woke up and hallucinated and needed me. So it's nice that you can be there when she needs your loving hand.

This is so unbelievably difficult. Makes me question the point of life. The hardest part about waiting like this is that you just know that ultimately the worst part is yet to come. I am with you in thoughts.
