Nearing the end of this road

My darling mum has been deteriorating before our very eyes over the last 5 days. When she opens her eyes now there is just a blank vacant expression and it is though she does not even know we are there. It is heart breaking to see her but we continue to tell her how much we love her and that it is ok to let go. I hate this disease and what it has done to my mum and my family. These last few days are precious and we feel guilty wanting it to end for her, mum does not seem to be suffering but I feel that we have already lost her.

Teresa,

Likewise you have my deepest sympathy at this desperatly sad time, i am sure your mum knows that you are there, and have taken good care of her throughout this experiance, and you should be comforted as she will have been that you have helped her into the next room with dignity amongst the people she knows best.

If its any comfort i lost both my parents to this horific decease and was there throughout and until the end, it is not nice but i felt that i had maybe given them something towards all they had sacrificed for me at the end of their life.

my heart goes out to you.

Pauli......

Hi Ginge,

I feel so sad reading your blog and I'm sending you all my best wishes. You are completely right the last few days are so priceless and it sounds like you are being very strong for her and I know at this stage the best thing to do is to be with her as much as possible, I know its hard but I really beleive at this stage they do know your there and I'm sure it brings comfort to them. My mum died yesterday aged 53 and a few days ago I went to see her and she was like you said completely not there and I told her I loved her and the next day when I asked her if she heard me last night she nodded yes. I know exactley how you feel and I'm thinking of you and your family. Stay strong.Take care. xx

Oh Teresa, I know EXACTLY how you feel because my dear sister was exactly the same and I was willing her to die. Half of me felt guilty and the other half wished for the courage to help her pass - I didn't and she slipped into unconsciousness and then slipped away forever. Your mum's present condition is probably caused by the pain-killing drugs she is taking, but I feel sure she is taking in the words of love you are speaking.

Best wishes,

KateG

Sending you some loving thoughts Teresa. This is a very sad time for your family.

Keep telling your mum how much you love her. I am certain she can hear you. They say that is the last thing to go.

Love, Christine xx
