I hope Helen finds comfort and peace now she is in her own home, and is kept comfortable and pain free. Strength to Mandy and Martin.

Sending love and to you Sylvia, with thanks for keeping us informed.

May today go as well as possible.

I too am pleased that Helen has been granted her wish of returning home.
Now hoping that peace prevails for everyone involved.
Thinking of you Sylvia and Helen and her family too xx

I sent a text to see if it was convenient to phone. Helen has a friend visiting at the moment and Mandy will send me a text when she goes.

Martin said it`s not going too badly.

 

[nellbelles]

Thanks Sylvia, that's good to hear.

Hope you manage the phone call xx

I spoke to Helen twice yesterday . It was very difficult.

She was uncomfortable, disfluent, confused, but holding on to the phone as if for dear life, not wanting the connection to end.

She isn`t eating because she isn`t hungry and also because she has sickness and diarrhoea again . She said she doesn`t want to eat because eating produces too much waste. She said she can`t remember when she last ate. However Mandy came on the phone and said she had some mashed potato yesterday and tinned fruit in the early hours at 2am.

She had to hang up on me because of some difficulty, but phoned me back, unable to remember why she hung up.

So we chatted as best we could and all in all were on the phone for an hour before carers came and our conversation ended.

She did manage to say she was satisfied with the care she was receiving but was also able to convey she felt no benefit in being at home.

She is very tired. She said she is exhausted. She wants to sleep but keeps waking.

At this point Sylvia it probably doesn't really matter where Helen is. Personally I would say we got a great deal of help from drs, DNs and hospice at home and there was no doubt that ron was responsive to everyone he loved . But the last 24 hours, who knows? I could not fault his care, from his carers as well. But he was gone so quickly, who knows if he had lingered much longer.

How heartbreaking for all of you. I wish Helen could find that peace that she so clearly needs. x

Poor Helen , it must be so difficult . For you and the family too Sylvia xxxx

What a sad time. That must have been a very difficult conversation Sylvia.
Poor Helen. This is not what any of us wanted for her

That's so sad, to read that Helen feels no benefit being at home

Oh for her to sleep away peacefully is what I wish for her. She doesn't deserve what's happening to her xxx

Squishy hug for you Sylvia xxx

That's so sad Sylvia. Helen deserves to feel peace and tranquillity wherever she is for her final days. I'm thinking of you all xx

 

[stanleypj]

This is such a dreadful situation for all concerned Sylvia.

 

[ellejay]

Very sad for everyone, poor Helen.

Thinking of you all x

How upsetting and distressing for poor Helen. If only she could sleep deeply and gently pass away.

So difficult for Helen suffering and for Mandy and Martin seeing her distress. What can I say… Only hope that today is easier. Heart breaking.

With my love

Mandy has set up a FB page for all of Helen`s friends and family. She has given me permission to add any of mine and Helen`s FB friends` names to the group.


Sorry. It`s not a FB page it`s a FB group on message.

 

[Saffie]

Poor, poor Helen. She has been so strong and aware and I can't help but wonder if that is now working against her. It must have been heartbreaking for her to be wanting to hang on to the phone to you Sylvia. You have been such a source of comfort to her that it isn't surprising really. I so wish she could find some peace and relief from the way she is feeling.
I'll go to Facebook now.
love and strength to you. x
