Hi All,
Mum is in the end stages of her battle & has started asking questions about what will happen when she dies.
She is asking things like "Will I know when I am about to die" "will my body tell me I'm going to die today" "will I be in pain"
I have tried to reassure her and tell her I think she will just go to sleep one day, and be at peace, but truthfully I don't know if she will feel pain, if she will know whats happening as it happens or if she will feel scared at the time.
I want to reassure her, especially as the cancer is in her brain and she is very confused most of the time, but I feel bad telling her this when I haven't got a clue what it will feel like for her.
I just don't know what to say to her for the best. Any advice is much appreciated
Thank you.
