My partner is in the final days of her battle the acute care nurses made their last visit today as they were unable to replace the cannula in her arm as her veins are collapsing. Her sense of smell has gone her speech is starting to slur she's is in no pain 

The District nurse dropped of some plasters for her bed sores but now it looks like we are on her own

    I am so sorry. You are not alone now you have us. I have no other words as I know nothing will comfort you at this time but I didn't want to "read and run". Love to you both. 

  • Oh I’m so sorry.

    There’s an End of Life group on here that may be able to offer some support at this most horrendous difficult time.
