Final hours or days?

It is going to be a long night. Watching and waiting.

Only a few spoons of ice cream and sips of water today, little urine.  Restless (tossing and turning) and arm reaching to the air. Repeating "Wants out".  Change in beathing longer pauses started yesterday

I know no one can tell me how long. . . 

 

  • May I ask is anyone with you,it must be awful for you,the not knowing is the worst,all I can say is I am thinking about you

    ,much love x

  • So sorry for what your going through, I hope this post can help in some way even if it's you know your not on your own, my mum seems to be in the final stages she was diagnosed with lung cancer stage 4 small cell and it's been nearly a year she's only in the last couple of weeks started to become very confused, restless arms in the air and talking jibberish, sometimes we sit by her bed when shes had a bad day thinking the worst (she's not eating very much at all spoonfuls at the most) she has been like this for almost a week the nurses are going to put a morphene and sickness pump in tomorrow I don't really want them to as I feel it speeds things up but I don't want to be selfish as I don't want Mam to be in pain either .. the whole thing is very traumatic and weighs heavy on my heart I can't bare to watch and wait especially when it's someone you love and like you we have no idea we are just told everyone is different and it's just about keeping her comfortable .. sending big hugs xxx

  • Oh bless you, thinking of you and yours, with love Paulinegrace x

  • I am thinking of you. My husband has cancer but 8 years ago my mum was at the end with lung cancer. They offered her morphine which helped her slip away with no pain or distress. Suggest that when they make that suggestion it   will only be a couple of days at most. Hope you keep strong. It is a dreadful time but you will not want to see a loved one suffer.
