Weeks not months

Good morning

I can't even begin process the last few weeks 

My mum got taken to hospital with an infection 19th February. They said it was sepsis. after more scans the next day we had the devastating news that they discovered she has bowel cancer that has also spread to her liver.

4 days later whilst she was in hospital she had a stroke.

Covid has meant a huge restriction on visiting. Where dad was only allowed on for an hour a day. 

We were informed she had agreed to a DNR

A few day later they said they could not over any treatment for the cancer as mums body would not handle it. 

My dad was called in to the hospital for a meeting with mum.....  Nothing more they can do.  The doctor said he thinks weeks not months

Someone in the ward then tested positive for covid resulting in mum and dad both having to isolate for 10 days

Mum is now home. And I pleased as its what she wanted. 

I'm just really struggling to process this.  We are already 2 weeks in to "weeks not months" I don't know how close we are to the end.  Everyday I wake up knowing it's a day closer to losing mum.

She turns 60 a week today 

 

* Mum passed away this morning (7th April)at 3.47 

The last few days have been horrendous and my heart is broken x

    It is so hard. Im spending all the time I can with them. But in the back of my mind I feel like we are waiting, which just riddles me with guilt.
