Mum has taken a turn for the worse, I really thought the radio treatment had helped as she was regaining the feeling in her right hand. But no now her left hand has a mind of its own knocking things over. She fell twice yesterday and looks like she's done 3 rounds with mike Tyson! So she's now confined to bed it was heart breaking when she looked at me and said is this the end? I lied to her and said no you will fight this,It's not time to give up. When really I wish for her sake before she gets any worse that she could go to sleep and never wake up so she doesn't have to have any more distress. Am I being selfish? I don't know but It's killing me watching her struggle like this.

My thoughts,strength, and caring,go out to you and your Family at this time. I hope you get your wish that your Mum passes away peacefully in her sleep.

Look after yourself.

MrsBee, Oh you poor soul, recently I sat by my mother's bedside and willed her to go for her own sake. She finally did and knowing she had been released from this veil of tears was wonderful, though I miss her every day and wish I could see her again - but not as she had become. I can't see this as being selfish, it is because you love her that you think this way. Don't be hard on yourself I think your reaction is the normal, loving reaction of a caring person.

No, you are not being selfish at all. How can you be, to wish someone's suffering would be over.

I watched my dad suffer too and, as much as I wanted to keep him here forever, I hoped that he would go peacefully.

I hope your mum doesn't suffer too much.

Thinking of you both.
