Thanks you she is still with us sleeping like a baby x

Hi, keep talking to her, assume she can hear you even if she doesn't appear to, we lost my husband 7 weeks ago, he seemed unconscious most of the time towards the end but now and again came round and said he was listening to what we said even if he wasn't able to join in and didn't look conscious. ..talk to her, hold her hand, cuddle her, I tried to do for him what I think i would've wanted, let her know you love her and are there for her xx

Hi Gemma 

I hope all was good for you and your family, today i thought of you and your familys current situation and as im not a religious person i dont pray but i sent as much mental postive thoughts your way as i could . I hope your mum is still with you and that she can stay a while longer , remember your not alone .  Remember what the other commenters on here have said stay with your mum as much as possible talk to her let her know shes not alone. 

Keep smiling

Hi Gemma my mum passed away Sunday :( 

she had stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to the brain Saturday morning she didn't open her eyes all day but she was still moving her left side of her body (her right side had stopped working a few days b4) so she was awake we just kept talking to her trying to comfort her she had the rattle too. To me it sounded like she was trying to cough it up but couldnt (sounded like she was choking :( heartbreaking) the nurses came to give her the meds she needed coz she was no longer able to swollen her tablets they kicked in and it just sounded like she was sleeping then. Come Sunday the awful rattle came back and she was looking anxious so called nurses and they set up the syringe drive at 12pm they said the rattle should calm down and dry up but could be slow and they would return at 3pm just to check on her and give her more if needed. Me and my sisters sat by her talking. the sound was awful then an hour later the sound stopped but her breathing wasn't good and then that was her last moment she passed away 2 hours later x 

my advice is sit by her hold her hand talk to her tell her everything you want her to know kiss her head and cherish the memories you have both made. 
im here if you need a chat. Xx
 

Hi Gemma so sorry to here what you are going through with your Mum.  I lost my Mum on 23rd April this year and I just wanted to show you some support, I couldnt be with her at the end as she was admitted into hospital and although it was her cancer not COVID they wouldnt let us be with her just my stepdad so I have a lot of anger and all sorts of emotions that I was robbed time with my mum due to lockdown as I was with my Mum most days of the week.  She even managed to call me 2 days before she passed then after that call a syringe driver was put in and she slept pretty much the rest of the time until she let go.  Just cherish this time with her be strong talk to her tell her you love her and what she means to you and hold her hand thats what I wouldve done if I could of.  I cant help but think this hole lockdown made her cancer worse.  She missed seeing us so much and her grandson who just turned 1 in March was literally her everything and she had always set goals for him her last goal was making it to his birthday which she did then she just wanted to get through lockdown so she could see him.  She even made full body clones of me and my sisters and posted funny videos of us.  This is a really hard time for anyone going through this so just sending you lots of love and support x[[]]
