My mum is now unresponsive and is on a morphine pump
does this mean the end is near
how long does this typically last
should I get the priest now for her
thanks
Hi Squidly welcome to the forum though I am.very very sad to hear how difficult things are for you all right now. I'm imagining that a priest can come at anytime if that's what the person would have wanted. As to a time frame that's more difficult to say but hopefully your mum is calm and peaceful and we are all thinking of you . Gail
