Hi Vonney
I feel for you and your family.
Dad was put on the LCP and in the end, he was painfree and comfortable.
From what I know, LCP is care of the dying. I don't know if there is a time limit on how long.
If not for LCP, I don't think I could have coped with my Dad's dying, but it wasn't about me -- it was about Dad, being painfree and comfortable, which he was and that also helped me.
So very sorry about your Mum, but please look after yourself
Love

I just feel compelled to post Vonny that I think - with all these good thoughts & prayers coming from TP folk (those that post & those that just like to read) that there is someone on duty with your mum tonight who is going to ensure that she is comfy and loved. That is my belief and my prayer.
Hi Vonny
((((hugs))))
It can be difficult for everyone dealing with these decisions, but hopefully your Mum is now pain free and resting comfortably.
I hope you are managing to get a little rest too, though I doubt that at this time it is pain-free as this is such a sore time for you and your family.
Thinking of you

Dear all,
Your lovely thoughts and prayers have worked
Mum asleep all day today, looking peaceful. Thank you so much.
The registrar looked in on us tonight and said mum seemed peaceful and if we needed anything to just ask. Also a lovely nurse took us aside tonight and said mum was now on the LCP and that we can visit whenever and stay overnight if we want. We haven't stayed tonight as mum looks ok and dad is in desperate need of a sleep. Vicky is staying with him and he is having a sleeping tablet tonight. I have to come home for son of course, although I will make arrangements for tomorrow, assuming it is required. We will be back to see her first thing tomorrow.
It is such a relief to see ma pain-free. She is on a high dose of morphine plus an anti-sickness drug and something to dry up the secretions to stop her chest rattling. I just sat and feasted my eyes on her tonight, lost in awe of how much this wonderful woman has done for me over the years.
Dad bearing up well considering but poor Vicky is reliving her time when her husband was in the hospice for his last days. She is more reserved in her outward show of emotions than dad or I and I think it's hitting her hard. Also I have this wonderful place somewhere in the ether which has provided so much comfort to me since I joined, and none more so than this last few days.
Thank you is inadequate, but I do thank you all, all the same.

Dear Vonny,
Admire you so much for your positivity and care for others. I for one have noted how much you want to give to help others on this forum, even in a time of tremendous emotional upheaval.
So glad you have the support of the nursing staff and your Mum is comfortable. Thinking of you. xx

Dear Vonny
This time of peace is a gift for you all. A time to sit quietly with your mum, feasting your eyes on her and remebering all the good times.
It's also a time to make your farewells. To tell her how much you love her, and to give her permission to go.
Make the most of it, Vonny, you'll remember this time all your life.
Love and hugs,
Its good to hear your Mum is so peaceful and pain free. I do hope you get some rest tonight and the sleeping tablet helps your Dad.
You are doing remarkably well at this sad time. Its good to know you are well supported.
Love Jan

Oh Vonny
That made me cry. Your words, could have been my words, about my lovely dad.
I was so relieved to hear that your mum is out of pain and the hospital are giving you carte blanche on visiting (just as it should be)
Sending my love to you and your family.

Dear Vonny,
Tears are streaming down my face when I read that part. I am sure most of us on TP can relate to that.
You are being very brave and I hope you and your family can stay strong during this very sad time.
Take care,
