merlot
Hope your mum is still peaceful, (((hugs)))

Merlot I agree with every word that Nonnie has said. for you, you have stayed so strong through it all. Look after your dog!

You and your Mum are still in my thoughts, Merlot.

Thinking of you, Merlot xxx

Merlot I think that doing what your mum wants now will be a comfort to you all later. I am glad she seems to be peaceful and hope she continues to be so. Hard for you now but I am sure you will look back on this time and be glad you did what you did.

(((Hugs))) of support for you, your mum and all your family.

(Isn't it time we had a hug emoticon? Perhaps a fluffy cloud?)

My thoughts are with you and your mum merlot. I know what you are going through and having to be the strong one.

Let her slip away Merlot.

Thinking of you merlot. This is a hard time but as others have said, you are doing all you can for your mum and that will, in time, be a comfort to you. POGS said it more eloquently than I can

Thinking of you merlot, and your mum

I just checked in to see how things are with your mother merlot. Stay strong.

Dear Merlot,

I have been following your posts and I, like many GN's, understand and know the sadness of your situation.

It is difficult to be strong but at the same time strength can come easy when there is an acceptance of the inevitable and you know you did exactly what your mother wanted you to do. I am sure your love for each other has been intensified over the last few days and that is a memory you will have in time that will hopefully see you through the next few days and beyond.

It sounds as though she is slipping peacefully away without distress, which is as it should be. Well done for holding all this together.

It helps an awful lot, Gagagran I can't thank everyone enough.

Still thinking of you Merlot. This is such a hard time for you but remember that "this too shall end". So much support on here for you - hope it helps a bit.

Every good wish for the right outcome, I do hope you know what I mean.

Keep your chin up Merlotgran allow yourself some relaxation

I'm glad she is back in familiar surroundings where the staff know her, and that she still recognises you, Merlot

Mum is now back in the nursing home and very weak. All she wants to do it sleep but recognises me when she opens her eyes for a few seconds. Not eating or drinking and no longer on a drip so I don't think it can be long now.

I've reminded my older brother of the agreement we all made with mum's doctor concerning her end of life plan that there would be NO intervention. I have POA but didn't want to risk a huge rift in the family by 'pulling rank'.

I've broken a tooth (probably from too much gritting of) DSIL contacts me on facebook every day and asks what mum has had for lunch. I find it so strange that they just do not seem able to accept the inevitable. [tears of frustration emoticon]

Younger brother is now back from his hols and will be up on Thursday to see mum and give me some support.

Somewhere in the midst of all this I have to arrange Millie's anal gland op., or the insurance company might query the sudden halt in treatment.

Not surprised you had to let off steam merlot and glad there has been no fall outs nor likely to be.

Hope your mum is over her ordeal and had a more peaceful day.

merlot I've just caught up with this thread today, and hope that after this past day, your Mum is comfortable and less agitated.
