Morphine

My husband is terminal,6/12 months but is declining quickly.he's on a high dose of slow release morphine and also liquid morphine.I read about the side effects but didn't really take them in,until now.he's non stop chatting to himself,or having a conversation with a family member who isn't there in the room.it scares me sometimes.to see my strong husband go from being to be able to do anything he could put his hand too,to this,a complete shell of what he is.I'm so scared of what each day brings

    I am so so sorry that you and your husband are going through all of this.

    I lost my husband nearly 5 yrs ago sometimes feels like yesterday and other times like such a long long time ago.

    I feel your pain and fear.  Distressing beyond words what this awful illness is doing to your husband and so heartbreaking for you to watch.  I really hope the morphine has the pain under control.

    I don't know what to say but wanted to offer you my thoughts and hugs and to let you know your not alone.

    virtual hugs and all my thoughts take care x
