My mum in final stages

[Audrey0711]

My mum in nursing home and is very soundly sleeping,her eyes open occasionally,but she's not there. Won't eat or drink and is dehydrated. Very quickly deteriorating. She's 91...acceptance is hard.

It's very difficult to watch them go through this. My mum has just started on final stages though is still eating and drinking .

Wishing you both the strength to get through this.

Thank you for your wishes of strength. Just sharing on here with someone who understands helps so much. I'm torn between wishing it would happen as this is no life for her and wishing it would all go away and it's all a dream and let's gets back to normal! Which l suppose are normal reactions.

Thinking of you and your mum too treasure every second

It's awful isn't it. Then you feel guilty for wishing that. Then you can't understand why the body wants to continue to survive.
Then it's rinse and repeat,not knowing if it will be weeks or years.
