week 6 or 7

Less than one minute read time.

Well things have taken a big step this week . Mum has taken a turn for the worst and has had to have even more tablets now (32 a day !) She is feeling tired and has become unable to walk or even stand unaided.  She has been taken to the hospice where she sleeps most of the time . strangely though she seems peaceful and relaxed .They are really lovely there.Meanwhile I cannot sleep and am worrying myself silly . Mum has said she thinks she is getting near to the end and today when I left she started crying , when I asked why she said it might be the last time she sees me .. my heart nearly snapped in two. 

Dreading the next week

    I'm so sorry you are both having such a tough time....it is a very hard road to walk I know....I lost my beloved Dad tonight.  It does help to know though that we had said all we needed to say, having so much time to prepare.....not much consolation I know but then this isn't a situation with much to be had.   Wishing you courage....I never thought I would be able to cope with this but you know, you find the courage even when you think you have none left.  Thinking of you with kindness XXXX
