Advice please

Hi YT3

So sorry to hear what you are going through, you might find the information here helpful.

Is there a friend or relative who could come and support you and your kids?

When my mother passed away at home, she was under the care of Macmillan nurses. She died late at night and we called her nurse first. She said she would call the GP as she knew how to get his attention rather than through the surgery. Maybe she had a hotline!  He arrived within twenty minutes to pronounce death.

We wanted to wait until morning to call the funeral home to collect her, but the doctor reminded us that by then rigor might have set in and getting her out of the house would be difficult.

Everyone was kind, sympathetic and helped us through the situation with compassion and stayed with us just to talk. The Macmillan nurse even stayed to lay Mum out at 2.00am.We told her she did not have to but she insisted. 'It's all part of the job.'

I am sure you will be treated similarly. These people know what they are doing.

Hello- so sorry this is all going on. 

Can the Marie Curie nurses help? I have heard wonderful things about them with night sitting and end of life care especially. 

Hang in there. You are doing the right thing by reaching out. 

We are here.
