My mum has been in the hospice for nearly 5 weeks and is in her final hours. She is in the 'active dying' stage and her breathing has become rapid and shallow. She is also unresponsive. I've been reading stories about people's final moments and I can only hope my mums are peaceful.
I am so scared for when her breathing begins to stop. I get such a fright whenever there is a tiny change thinking it is the end, I can't imagine her stopping breathing for minutes at a time.
