We are now on day 15 of mum going on end of life, I have barely seen her the past year. I finally saw her 2 weeks ago as we are able to visit the care home as end of life is soon, the deterioration is astonishing she has lost a significant amount of weight . We decided not for her to go into hospital after the experience last year, so her end will be in the care home'
She has not eaten for many weeks i am told, she is having small amounts of liquid. Mum has been bed ridden for a year, she is hallucinating, seeing relatives that have past, reaching out in a very agitated way, doubly incontinent and her breathing is awful its like she is struggling to breath but then her breathing seems to stop for 15/20 seconds and starts again. Her arms feel so cold and her skin is just flaking.
I have no idea if she is in pain but this whole situation is emotionally draining, i am now on sick from work as now i can spend as much time with mum as i want, and considering since April 5th last year i have hardly seen her due to lockdowns etc.
How long could this torture for my dear mum go on for it is just heartbreaking to see this, you just wouldnt put an animal through this !
