Reading spinning into stillness on this forum summed up alot of feelings.
My mum has 11 lesions on her brain and people with her condition have on average, 3 months, maybe more, could be less.
To see her go from a strong, super organised, intelligent woman to a frail, confused one who can't plug her hoover in or turn off her own oven is heartbreaking.
She’s lost control of bodily functions but that's manageable and doesn't phase me and mercifully no headaches or nausea or seizures so far. I feel guilty for wanting her end to come sooner rather than later so she doesn't have to go through those.
Very glad that I am in a position to have been able to move in to take care of her.
Anyone else been in a similar situation particularly with brain cancer. Read brains trust literature last night which gave excellent information on what to expect.
Hi Sjhurnart
Sorry to read about your mum, closest I can come to this was with my dad though his was not cancer but a series of seizures that robbed him of his mind bit by bit.
It is hard and I totally get the bit about on one hand wanting them to find peace but on the other hand not wanting to lose them. Looking back all I can think is how we did out best in really difficult circumstances but also looking further back thinking of the remarkable life he lead and how he raised us.
Glad you find the information from the brains trust useful and thank you for highlighting that to others who might read this thread and think that is just like where we are.
<<hugs>>
