Trying to get one project finished but it's not easy having Hospice nurse and bath lady in twice a week for Mom. Plus company (family) in on weekends to visit Mom as her time is very short. The cancer is moving fast now and she is getting weaker each day.
I'll pop in here again when I'm able.
Maybe not the right place but I feel for you. Lost my dad in 2009 and and after taking care of my dying mom taken with mesothelioma, 7 months later she finally succumed to it. It was a nightmare having to take care of the poor dear for those seven months and we put off taking her to the hospice until a week and a half before she died. A week after she died on my fathers birthday, his brother diled exactly 7 days after and almost to the same hour. Suffice it to say 2009 and 2010 were 8 months of hell I will never forget.
It is painful seeing those you love die and more painful when you are responsible for their comfort and courage as time approaches. Day in and day out seeing them slowly succumbing to their fate and feeling more and more helpless. I was devistated and just barely out from under the depression and anxiety even now.
God bless you and hope you a quick recovery from your death vigil over your dear mother and may God grant her peace.
