    Hi, same with me. My Mum is a good age but still difficult to see her going along this journey. I took her to the hairdresser just three weeks ago and her decline has been so rapid and distressing. Lost so much weight, not eating, extremely weak. I feel that my emotions are on hold to get me through, I wonder if I'll be in bits closer to the end.

    Best wishes to you barrie, Peace be with both our Mum's.

    Thank you so much it is hard at this moment of time as being told she got hours live but she carrying on is hard to hear seeing my sisters and dad getting upset I seen her to say my last goodbye but am I wrong to not want to be with her before she passes as I don't think I could do it as it ain't what she would want from me . She had syringe driver put in 2 days ago
