Hospice admission for my Mum

Hi orange lily 

Many people have found hospices to be really helpful and it can help us focus our energy on the love rather than the business of caring.

Thinking of you both.

Thanks Steve - I know. They have been amazing. I am so thankful that I can return to being a daughter again and that my Mum is being looked after. Sadly, we are familiar with the hospice as they also cared for my Dad some years ago. I do find a lot of comfort there. x

Sending love and strength to you orange lily. I am so glad that you and your mum have the hospice’s arms wrapped round you and lots of support. Just to say I’m so sorry for what you are going through. It’s heartbreaking for you all. My mum recently was diagnosed with advanced cancer and doesn’t have long. She was doing great but has taken a turn for the worse today with sickness and not sure why / if this is the start of a decline. My mission tomorrow is to get her the hospice referral we keep mentioning. I was touched by your post as you mentioned your dad was in the same hospice as your Mum which is the exact same scenario for me too. This is why we want mum to be there to get the support my Dad did but I truly appreciate how hard it is to find yourself on a similar path having been through it before. I wish you all the very best and thinking of you and your mum x

Hello, sorry to hear your news about your Mum going into a hospice.  I understand how you must be feeling - my husband may be following the same route shortly.  I hope you can find some peace and come to terms with the decision.  Take care x

As sad and as difficult as this is, the hospice have been amazing. The staff are so caring towards my Mum and also towards us. I feel a comfort being there which is strange as my Dad was there too many years ago. I mentioned this to one of the nurses today and he said it made complete sense that I am ok about us being there. All we really want for our loved ones at this time is for them to be cared for with dignity I think. 
Sending my very best wishes to you English Rose x
