Final Days

My mums is currently dying and it's the hardest thing to see...

She hasnt eaten in 11 days and has only had sips of water in that time. She has a syringe driver for pain. 

She has slept mainly since last week with a bit of a restless day on Monday. She has slept just about solidly for the last 48hrs (only waking for water but hardly opening her eyes)

Its horrible watching her waste away and for us just waiting for her to die. I've been at her bedside for 6 days now and its tearing me up. Prob also the fact that we dont have any idea how long this will go on for. I'm struggling with the fact that she cant do anything but just lie there & I cant do anything to make it better.

Is it awful to be wishing her time away - this is just not fair on her...

 

  • Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your mam passing. 

    I never thought cancer would beat him, he's beaten it twice but it took hold of him in the end. 

    Rest in peace to both my grandad and your mam. Take care x

    Ladies my heart goes out to you both. My mum was the heart of our family, kind caring funny wise. Her legacy is huge, her family will forever miss her.

    Honestly, I would be so happy for either of you to message at any time. Misery loves company and we all are in the same horrible boat. It helps to know others are going through what I am at the moment

    love to you both
