Such a rollercoaster for you @HartleyHugs š¢ I read up on terminal lucidity after your post a couple of weeks back. I knew someone who died from cancer in a hospice who had a similar presentation surprising the family sat around his bedside.
Im of the opinion that the dying person has some ability to control a little and I wonder if your mum is āhanging onā as she keeps saying she doesnāt want to go. Please ignore if this is not helpful the last thing I want to do is upset ā¦.but have you been able to tell her that itās ok to go? is there anything she might be hanging on for which you can tell her is resolved etc.
My Dad gave me a whole long list of jobs, phoned his children from his previous marriage - the doctors said the next day we would plan eolā¦..but he told me he was ready to goā¦he didnt last 12 hours and the hospital were taken aback by the rapidity of it.
please please ignore if this isnt a helpful post.
im glad your husband and son are there for you.
