Hi,
A month ago my Mum was given a few weeks prognosis.
She is still eating and drinking a bit and able to walk.
She said she notices she feels stuck in habits e.g eating rice pudding, watching the same TV series, only wanting one family member to care for her so is consistent. She said she is scared to try things outside of these.
Has anyone else experienced this with those they care for? It does seem a big change in her personality in the last 2 weeks. Is this part of the dying process?
In one way it makes sense to me, everything is so completely overwhelming, she just wants the same things to help her get through each day. Perhaps it depends if she wants to change this. If she did, how can I support her?
Many thanks
Hi Gingercat
I think there are so many things we might think are part of the dying process but then like most things in life we are all individual. The only thing I think is to ask her what she wants. I guess the only thing that could be tricky is just one person caring for her both for that person but also if others want to help too.
<hugs>>
