Hi Knitting nana, I can’t answer your questions, but I’m so sorry for your loss. Have you thought of contacting the Macmillan support line, or counselling? It is hard to lose someone you love, but in these times even harder.just sending lots of love and hugs to you, xxx

Thank you.

Hi 

I am so sad and sorry to read your post . My friend passed recently and I was round talking to her mum on the doorstep yesterday. It’s so tough . 
My friend was definitely not aware at the end .She had a syringe driver on and was well medicated to the point she was mainly sleeping and difficult to wake .

Please do phone the helpline as they will be able to put you in touch with resources to assist you .

Take care ,

Thank ypu for your reply which as helped me a little. He was hooked up to the same. So im realy hopeing this is what happened to my so. Didnt want him knowing. Just hope he driffted off to sleep and didnt wake up. So hard to deal with at tje moment.They say time heals, but im not feeling tjat. I miss him every single day. Im heart broken. 

She was actually like that for a few days and was not really aware even when she appeared awake I doubt very much she would have even understood anything at that point . 

I think it’s totally understandable you feel so sad .So hard for you to process but please do phone the helpline . Your needs matter to us and a bit of support and understanding might help . The Macmillan nurses have a lot of end of life nursing experience and really help out your mind at ease . We also have a group for families who have lost a loved one . https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_experiences/bereaved-family-and-friends-forum
Sometimes it helps just to be understood .

But please do reach out to your Gp too ! Please feel free to chat here too as we are always around and happy to listen .

Take care ,
