Just an update on mom. It's been a time, but I didn't feel the need to burden everyone with my struggle.
She had 0 energy yesterday. Today, she didn't want to get out of bed, just wanted to "rest."
Anyone that has had to see a loved one die from the dreaded disease of cancer knows that the end is nigh.
I have friends and family that are seriously concerned about my well being, I have been here since day one.
I am truly OK with this.
I love my mother, I don.t want her to suffer any longer.
@MrsBentoBako bless you for the way you are caring for your mother. Taking care of yourself at this time is important, you can't pour from an empty cup. Do you have access to any hospice care? That could give you some time to yourself and know that she's not alone.
@JPSCHWEIZER63
Thank you.
Yes I have my family that gives me little breaks, and I know that I will be able to "sleep" when I can eventually.
I have been taking care of my mom since Aug. 23. I aided my mm in caring for her mother for a year in 2013. I took care of my dad's mom in 2003.
I am one of those people that functions on stress. I need more stress than the average person to function normally. I also like going to the dentist. 😜
Hospice delivered the comfort care kit today.
The sisters are not taking it well. The oldest to too focused on her own life, the middle is still scarred form our dad's passing.
This is my third family that I have helped pass with the aid of hospice.
I feel like I am old hat at this. Which says a lot.
Nobody should ever feel like they are alone in this. there are resources. Should you need them.
