DD will be discharged from hospital this afternoon.

In my thoughts and prayers,gentle hugs to you all x

What you have already done for, and with, your daughter is amazing - you really are a 5* Mum. So brave, and honest, of you to share how you feel - such a mixture of powerful emotions after an already exhausting emotional roller coaster through her treatments. I think what one of the previous posters said is absolutely right - to focus on your daughter’s dignity and pain management as well as honesty about what is happening. I don’t know if you and she have been able to talk about how she would like her life to be celebrated after her death, or whether she has been well enough to put together a ‘memory box’ - it might be something you could do together. Both are ways in which you might be able to talk together about how she would like to manage what she does have at least some influence over just now. As others have said, take it a day at a time; accept help with domestic things; take time out for yourself and do stay in contact. My heart feels so full for you and your family just now - words are often so inadequate but I’m sending you what thoughts, strength and love I can. ?❤️??

Oh Merlot
My heart goes out to you and your daughter and all of your family. You are going to have to be very brave which is a very tall order. How nice that your daughter wishes to be at home with all of you around her.
I as I am sure everyone on GN will be thinking about you. Love from Carole.

So sorry Merlot. I can't begin to imagine how that feels. Having a DD who lives far away is hard, but your situation unimaginable. Make the most of the time you have left and don't leave things unsaid that you will regret. I wish I'd told my mum how much I loved her when I had the chance!

So very, very sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with you all xx

I've only just seen this Merlot
A desperately sad time for you. Yes of course you feel scared, please share your feelings with us whenever you need to.
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. ??

When a close friend was close to death at home she said to her husband close family only to visit as she wanted us to remember her how she was. Although we wanted to visit we of course respected her wishes. I am sure you will follow your daughters wishes too . Don't worry about upsetting anyone. Look after yourself too. Sending love and thoughts x

Are there no possible treatments abroad Merlot?
Nothing we can say will mitigate the pain but we are all, to a man, thinking of you and hoping your daughter is pain free and comfortable in the arms of her family and friends.

To all of you suffering unbearable loss recently ..........

Sending hugs my heart goes out to you such sadness but a brave and wonderful thing you are doing for you Dd

Some things are just beyond words; this has to be one of those times. xx

Only just seen this. So sorry to hear this merlot, such a terribly sad situation

This can be a strangely peaceful time. I hope you and DD can make it so.

Can’t find any words that would comfort you but will hold you and yours on my thoughts?❤️

My heart goes out to you Merlot gran. any words can only be inadequate.

So very sorry ...but being at home with help from MacMillan nurses and perhaps hospice care at home, and being with her loving family around her will be comfort to you and to her. So sad...….she will know how loved she is. Thinking of you x

I am so very sorry, Merlot.

My thoughts are with you, your daughter and your family. What an immensely sad situation.
As you adjust to the 'new normal' of caring for her at home, I hope you will all find unexpected peace and even joy in little moments together.

I echo the sentiment of everyone else, my heart goes out to you merlot words are not enough but sending virtual and hugs. Thinking of you and your darling daughter and family at this very sad time. Xx

Merlot. and prayers for you all.

You have all my sympathy too. Sadness and feeling scared seems normal to me in your situation.

Try to enjoy this precious time, although I don't suppose you can when you heart is breaking, but later you will want to look back on it.

Merlotgran.
Sorry to hear about your DD try to enjoy your time with her. Take care of yourself ?

Thank you, everyone. So many kind messages. I will read them all properly this evening when hopefully things calm down a bit. It's been a pretty full on day with visits from nurses and family who couldn't come over Easter.

Everything is in place now and DD has settled in to what will be our daily regime from now on.

Thank you all once again.

Well done to you at respecting her last wishes.
Rescue remedy which is a combination of flower remedies is safe and will help with your fears

Thinking of you at this sad time
