My heartfelt thoughts go to you and all the fami.y

So sorry to read this... my heart breaks for you all

Thinking of you all Merlot .

My heart goes out to you please take each day at a time. Try to enjoy that day and dont worry about tomorrow. We cannot take away your pain and anxiety but I am sure everone on here who had read this will in their own way be praying for you all to find the strength and courage needed.

I am so so so sorry. My heart breaks for you and all your family.

Heartbreaking , utterly heartbreaking. Much love xxx

Acceptance of the inevitable is a great gift,I hope you have a calm and peaceful time with DD during her remaining time with you in this life. Find some things to laugh over and save the tears for later, with love and prayers for you all,

Sincere good wishes to you and your DD and family. A heartbreaking time for you and I can't imagine what you're all going through. You're doing what she wants and that's the very best you can do for her, perhaps that might be of some minor comfort to you. Take care.

What dragonfly said. Just try to live in the moment. My heart is breaking for you . You are in my thoughts and prayers x

So sorry to hear this. Wishing you all the love and courage to deal with each hour of each day, and you will.

Bless you. I'm so sorry for your situation. Xxx

Doesn’t it make our grumbling very insignificant. I have no advice to give, except accept all the help that is offered and concentrate on spending as much time with your DD as you can. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Take heart from those like Kupari45 who have survived this ordeal.
It is a final act of love that you can offer and you will have a chance to say all those things we generally leave unsaid.
I know from a close friend what an exhausting time this will be for you, but you WILL get through it. So, if you can, take a few hours out for yourself if at all possible, now and then. You need to top up your batteries with short trips into normality and life outside.

I truly hope that your dear daughter has a straightforward, gentle and peaceful death and that you and your loved ones have all the support you need, both emotionally and physically during and after this desperate time.

You are in my prayers. Try to enjoy the time you have, share and renew memories. Use all the help and support you have available - friends usually want to help but don't necessarily know how. What about asking for meals to be cooked, washing done etc. so the time you have together can be focussed on being together.........

I’m sure you and your family will find the strength you need to hold you through this sad time. Sending love and prayers.

So very sad for you Merlot.
Sending love and strength.

Very sorry to hear this sad news. Best wishes to you and your family.

What a very sad time for you all - loads of people thinking of you from here xx

Wishing you lots of strength and courage.

You are doing the only thing you can do giving her love and your daughter been with her family .If she does have to go into a hospice because it becomes to much rest assured that they are very special places.I am speaking from experience nothing is so much trouble and they treat your loved one as they are the only person that exists.They are also excellent with the familyxx

My heart goes out to you. What you are doing is so hard but you will have no regrets. My husband wouldn't go into a hospice when he was given a couple of weeks to live.

We went to stay with my son and his family who were there to support us. We had wonderful support from my son's GP and the District nurses (once we got over all the red tape and 'hurdles'*) He lasted almost four months, towards the end we had the amazing Marie Curie nurses and the ladies from the hospice who came in to wash him and make him comfortable. We were able to be with him right to the end without having to travel, park and sit in hospitals. Just sad that we didn't talk more (but my husband was never a 'talker!')

Yes, we were scared but it was what he wanted. Just make the most of the time you have together.

Big hugs , heartfelt thoughts and wishes, be strong.

*We live in a rural area and the hoops we had to jump through when it was the last thing we needed. My son lives just over a mile away from us our GP would have carried on caring but the DNs wouldn't co-operate. So we had to change to our son's GP who I only have admiration for.

He needed a hospital bed as requested by our GP and the Hospice DR but the DN had to access him in situ - the red tape!!! It was really was ridiculous
