    Wow Barrie all I can say is so sorry I went through this exact same thing from Sunday to yesterday afternoon. Oh my goodness you are going to need some strength to get through these next few days. It's going to be a not very nice change infront of your eyes but you can do it. The syringe driver is the best thing for her you don't want her to feel anxious and worried. It makes them seem so much more peaceful and you will see that. Stay strong you will need to be kind to your heart and head over the next few days. Say everything you need, hold her hand and open the window up for her when you think the time is near XXX
