Worn out

[Anita Mehdi]

My Dad is in hospital in end of life for 10 days now. I have spent the entire time with him in a camp bed . Don't know how he's still here, other than its my birthday today and he wanted to spend one last one with me. Spend all day watching stop breathing then start again. He's been asleep for last two days with 2 syringe drivers. I'm emotionally and physically exhausted. Can't sleep incase something happens. I have my Mum living with me and my daughters are trying to hold things together. She spent nine hours at the hospital today and when she leaves her heart breaks. They are both 86 and have been together since they were 14. Don't know how much longer we can do this. My brother was told he had between 3 days and 2 weeks to live and then went on holiday to Spain the next day for 3 weeks!!! Leaving me to deal with loosing and caring for my Dad and also my Mums devastation. She looks terrible. I liove my Dad so much and don't know how I will cope without him. All I can do is watch him die and make sure he is Iain free. X

Oh Anita what a dreadful situation for you. You sound like you are a very strong lady supporting everyone around you. You must make sure that you get some rest as the pillar of strength will crumble. Happy birthday, not that it must be very happy for you I am sorry to say. Your dad will be in a much better place. Anything is better than this cruel cruel disease. Try and get some sleep, if you can. Red xxx

Wishing you all the best and I hope that you get to spend some of the time for you on your special day.x.x.

Thank you all for your support, it really does help. Dad got through the night and is still fighting it. His breathing still stopping and restarting, every time I think it's his last breath. So exhausting and emotional. X

Thoughts and prayers being sent to you. The emotion turmoil certainly takes its toll. Love and best wishes to you x
