Mum is crossing over...

[2jays]

My step father waited until we left for lunch, after being with him remembering happy times like you have done today.

I feel she will not be alone. I am a strong believer that her loved ones will be with her.

Mum...

Stay strong and I'm glad your Mum is peaceful and calm.
This isn't easy. We are into the last week to 10 days of my Mum's life - but it seems as if all is being well-managed for your Mum as it is for mine.
We are taking time as a family to exchange memories and goodbyes. I'm not sure Mum knows us in any way now but there is love in the room.
A hug and prayers coming your way.

Still clinging on..

Just thought I'd let you all know Mum is still clinging on! I was a little upset yesterday as they told me she was unable to swallow the paracetamol they were offering and yet had not started patches to cover any potential pain:rolleyes Still they went and got a fentanyl patch as soon as I said I felt we should be covering the possibility of pain whether or not it appears to be present, and to ensure the pain gates have a minimal opportunity to reopen.
My brother visited her yesterday - as I said before we don't get along so I just asked him of he would like me to giv them some time alone, and how long he expected to be so I could take over when he left. I also said we need to talk but he came up with a string of excuses and dates he was "away" on business I toel him if I didn't know when he was away I would not know what arrangements to make and he just said "Do what you have to do!" so I take that as carte blanche pemission to do just that.
I'm not sure whether to sleep in the home tonight they have offered me a bed, when I;m away form Mum I feel I should be there, but when I'm there I feel as if she is already in the hands of others, and that I would be more use supporting the rest of my family - whatever I do I will feel I got it wrong.
And now the meat hasn't thawed for dinner .....

Hi BB,

I know the strain of being pulled in two directions and it's never easy. I am pleased you haven't put yourself under the added pressure of having to be there, as you have the comfort of knowing she will slip away when she's ready. I always felt wrong being at home, and was unable to enjoy the children with mum on my mind every minute, and living on my nerves when the phone rang. Yet when I was with mum, alone with her in her world, I felt I was of better use at home...

Time will take care of it one way or another, so trust your judgements at each given moment, then you'll have no regrets.

Sending love at a very difficult and unique time, xxx
