It will be for the last time as there is no further treatment possible other than pain relief. She wants to be at home with all of us so we will do everything we can to make whatever time she has left comfortable and stress free. We will have support from Macmillan and district nurses and should there come a time when we are no longer able to cope, DD has agreed to go into a hospice.

Family support has been wonderful but I have to admit I'm a little scared and very, very sad.

Our darling girl died at 1.30 this morning. She refused to give in until there was no fight left in her We were all with her and it couldn't have been more peaceful. During the last few hours of her life all the pain and sorrow that was etched on her face disappeared and we were able to say goodbye to the beautiful young woman we want to remember.

I am posting this as an update rather than starting another thread under 'bereavement' as there is already a lot of sadness on Gransnet at the moment. Your kind messages of support have been a great comfort throughout the last two weeks. DD's pain might be over but I know ours is just beginning.

DH and I will help each other through it. We have two grieving young men to support so we have to focus on them.

Right now I just want to have a large G&T and cuddle my dogs!

I don’t have any better sentiments than the Gransnet community have already expressed but just want to add that I am also thinking of you and your family and sending virtual hugs.

You are being very brave and strong in the worst possible situation and you’ll know that we are all with you.

How very hard for you - wanting her to stay, but knowing that this fight cannot continue. Thank goodness for the pain killers and sedatives and the specialist hospice carers. And indeed for the love that is surrounding her. flowers
