i can do nothing,,i feel totally useless...
.......but you are not useless, you are doing something. You are there, with Mum, giving love and support. Holding her hand and telling her you love her. There is no greater job you can do.

And yes it still sucks!!!

With you in spirit.x.x

I don't think anyone can answer if your Mum is entering the final stages or not. It's all so variable I'm afraid. One thing I do know though is you shouldn't feel useless. Your Mum still knows you and is obviously taking comfort in the way you care for her.

Carry on offering the food and drink and although it's easy to say try not to get too upset if she won't take it. I hope your Mum remains peaceful-I'm afraid it sounds as though the torment is all yours, and for that I'm truly sorry.

Love

So sorry there is nothing that I can say to help. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you as I'm sure it must be a difficult and upsetting time.

Try and stay strong. Your mum will be at peace just knowing that you are with her.

Sending love and hugs xxxx

Just to add to the lovely sentiments. There is a calmness around when people that love you are 'holding you near' it gives them time to gently 'walk their path' without fear.. Stay steadfast x

You are never useless, believe that. It got to the point where all I could do to get my mothers attention was to sing and dance for her. She quit eating and drinking 2 weeks later, went to the hospital for rehydration for 2 weeks then died 2 days later when she went home. She is in a better place now. I told her as she laid there unresponsive that we would be fine and she could go rest now, and she drew her last breath. It's been 2 months now and she is around me all the time. Full mind for sure. Big hugsat you. It's difficult to watch.
