I am sat by my mother’s side as I write this. 

I am at a lost at what to do. She was rushed in last week with lower abdomen pain. It turns out she has colon and liver cancer. She was perfectly fine before this. They operated and fitted a stoma which I feel was bad practice. They never warned her or told her this may happen. She came round and for 87 she was upbeart. 3 days later she is on palliative care on a syringe drive.

Sat watching ur mother die is one of the hardest things that a human being can do. To want her to die to end her suffering is the most bizarre feeling a daughter can feel.

How can we let people suffer like this? My dog got cancer and the second he was ill we wanted to save his suffering. How can we justify letting our family and loved ones go through this. The law needs to change. I love my mother more than life and if I could end her torment I would.

Thank you for your kind words. 

My beautiful little Mum died at 5 07am today. To have to sit with her and watch all that I know slowly drift away with top ups of morphine, was truly the most dreadful experience of my life. How I am meant to stop seeing her in my mind, in her final moments, I have no idea.

My world ended this morning.

I have literally been through the exact same with my 32 year old baby bro at the end of Aug. . Im in bits talking about it, wanting them to pass peacefully and not in pain, but then the waiting is dreadful and then not wanting them to go at the same time, I feel your pain. Know that it’s comfort that you are there right next to her as I was next to my beautiful bro. Xxxx sending you strength and love

Sadue2.

Hello Sadie I read your posts and I kinda know how you are feelimg, it’s the hardest thing watching and being with a parent as they take thier last breath and die,but although it’s a terrible feeling of helplessness and sorrow,it’s also a relief to know they won’t suffer any more. I’m so very sorry you had to experience this,I too sat and held my dads hand as he took his last breath,that was in 1995,but  yes its a long time ago,but you never ever forget, my dad had a terrible stroke and couldn’t talk,  he also had prostrate cancer and was in hospital for just over a year,I went into see him everyday, and when he couldn’t feed himself he had a feeding tube put into his nose and down into his stomach,he pulled it out numerous times ,so many times we were told to get to the hospital as he was dying, but he kept  holding on.Then we got the call one day saying just that, he hadn’t got long, and when I got there, his breathing was bad,hus colour was terrible a blue/mauve tinge to his skin, I knew that this was it,he really was going, he died as I was telling him I loved him,  but I was praying for God to take him,and I felt guilty for doing it,but I just couldn’t  see him in so much pain.After the grief sinks in ,al your low for days ,weeks after  but in time    you just learn to get on with life,even though its tough . 

I hope you have some support from close family and friends, don’t bottle things up  talking about how you feel, really does help. Always popping on here from time to time ,so don’t be alone with your grief,I’m happy to chat on hear if you feel it will help you.x
