end is getting nearer and nearer

1 minute read time.

Mum is now in hospital - she's been in since Tuesday evening....she had deteriorated very quickly and is now struggling to breathe - they are trying to make her as comfortable as possible - but its just so hard watching her. 

I know in my last post i said about the suffering and i wish it would end - well now i mean it even more - i wish and hope she feels ready to go.  I always say i'm ready for it to happen but everytime something else happens and get a phone call saying mum has got worse i wobble....i know its understanding to do that and selfishly i don't want her to go but in another way i do want her to go so she can at last be at peace.

I have got some family around me at the moment that are quite pushy which aren't making things easy - but luckily they are going tomorrow evening so its just one more day till i can get on with things in my own way and deal with things my way rather than ahving to think about others around me.

Mum is now very likely not to come home, which is also very lonely, knowing that mum will never see the house again - which judging by the state its in at the moment isn't necessarily a bad thing lol but still its little old me rattling around with the cat, who obviously knows something is up.

I'm off to see mum in a bit, wish i could be there a lot more but due to stupid parking restrictions around the hospital its not possible - unless i want a permanent parking ticket lol

I just thought for those that do read my blogs that you would like to know whats going on

    Dear Beth, I am so sorry you are at this stage with your mum. I know exactly what you are going through. I lost my dad in April last year only eight weeks after being diagnosed with cancer.

    I remember thinking the way you are just now. I wanted dad to be there with me forever and never leave me, but deep down I wanted his suffering to end. It is very scary and I don't think we can ever be totally prepared for the end.

    My heart goes out to you. I wish you strength to get through this horrendous time in your life. Please know that I am thinking of you and am here if you need to chat.

    Best wishes, Christine xx

    Hi Beth,

    My heart goes out to you and your Mum. I am with you in the way you are thinking you dont want your Mum to die but on the other hand it would be better if she slipped away peacefully in her sleep. It takes some thinking to get your head around that. I just

    Hope you get what you wish for your Mum. You look after yourself.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx
