I wish to thank all of you so much for taking the time to write and give me compfort in answer to my message. I wish I could go back and re-live the whole situation once again and of course take different decisions. When my mother was hospitalized last November, her condition didn't sound too serious..I could have never imagined that her health would deteriorate so quickly...she had always been very active, was living on her own, she was very independent, she had just had her driving license renewed for two more years...
I also remained at her bedside night and day her last four days, after I was told by the medical staff there was nothing else that could be done...she was no longer responding, kept her eyes wide open but didn't talk nor did she recognize me...I wonder if she could feel my presence..I kept talking to her, telling her I loved her, and I used to give her some massage in her arms and hands...I had peppermint essential oil with me, put a couple of drops on a tissue to help her breathe more easily as she was on oxygen
I had a couple of consultations with a counsellor, but she kept talking about how she felt when she lost members of her family..so not too sure she'll be able helpful
