Thinkig of you and you mum.((( X)))

Today, I went and she was very sleepy and when she woke she was very confused, what was going on and possibly what she had been dreaming, it is all down to the strength of her meds bless her.
As i was about to leave, they came with a wheel chair and asked her if she was still up for the carol service, she suddenly perked up and almost leapt out of bed ( well for her ) so I wheeled her to the chapel and we spent a loveley hour at the carol service then had tea and mince pie, it was lovely, mum slept through most of it, but did manage to sing 2 carols. A very special moment for me.
Bless you all
Ann

Holding you and your mum close in my prayers.

N for Ann and mum

Ann, am glad your Mum has rallied a little and was able to talk with you and enjoy the puppy visiting as well as other visitors. Things may go up and down like this but it is good that you can talk with her and sort things out now so she feels she has done everything she wants, or planned for it.
Please try not to be too sad, you have a wonderful Mum who will always be with you even if not bodily and she is teaching you all the time on the ways of the world, life and death. You are also able to show each other how much you love one another.

I am feeling more like writing this tonight.
Tonight mum was pain free and more lucid than she has been for days.

As you are saying she is ready for her passing, she wanted me to tidy her locker and said not to take her washing, as I should do it all together "later" . She also talked to me about donations she wanted to make,and what she wanted to do for the nurse who so often get forgotten. These are hard conversations to have, but I think I am at last growing up She also loved my puppy playing on her bed with an ice cube and licking her to say thank you. these are memories I shall hold close.
God Bless
Ann
Having said that, I think she may have more time left than she thinks ( or is that just my wishfull thinking) Mum is completley at peace with the situation and at last i think I am coming round to it. ( it is difficult when you are an only child ( even at my age ))
Please keep the pain free prayers coming. Each night i ring at least 5 members of her church who are desperate for news on her, and tonight I have said she is able to see more than just close friends, as she seems to be enjoying her visitors now, even though they have to waken her up!!!!
thank you al so much

Ann

bigggggggggggggggggggggg hug 4 your mum x

Keeping your Mum in my thoughts and hoping she will keep free of pain and have a peaceful passing.

Take care of yourself too and your husband.

Like Jean I can't put into words what I think of your sil, how could she be so insensitive and thoughtless.

Regards Linda :o)

Oh WS my thoughts are with you.

Me and my family went though this September. So do feel for you.

I hope they have found a way to get her out of the pain.

Hope the hospice is as nice as the one my mum was in, they all were like angle there.

((((((((((((((hugs for you and your family)))))))))))))))

Your dear Mum has fought her battle with dignity and now is ready ,as you say, to move to a place where there is no suffering and pain. I wish her a gentle passing and wish you the strength to cope. I am glad you have such a supportive hubby to help you through what is and will be a sad time. You have done your Mum proud and I know you will continue to help her at this time.
Your sister doesn't sound as caring as you or your Mum, but it takes all sorts....
I will be thinking of you and your Mum,

Lizxx

Your mum is a wise lady Ann, she needs to be at peace now, I pray that she will have no more pain, but I am sure she will be comforted ,

The Lord bless her and keep her,

The Lord make his face to shine upon her,

and be gracious unto her,

The Lord turn his face to her,

And give her peace.........

I'm holding your mum in my prayers Ann. xx

Thank you Ann for the up-date, I know that it is hard to keep everyone informed; my daughters and I took turns when Rita was in her last days. I send my thoughts and prayers to you and Mom.
Brian(i)

Ann..... I am so sorry to hear the latest news of your Mum.

I am holding her in my thoughts and hoping she will keep free of pain and have a peaceful passing.

I could comment on the insensitivity of your sister-in-law but I would be banned.

Hi all,
Sorry I havent updated you before.
I have not been on GR of late I am spending as much time with mum now as I can, she has deteriorated so much now. She had up to yesterday had no pain for some time, but that is at the expense of her lucidness. But yesterday she was in severe pain so they upped the morphine in her driver.She is sleeping about 20 hours a day, so I just sit with her when I can, as does my husband. We now know she will not be coming home and is ready to go to meet her maker, she has asked to see her minister. I asked the nurses if it was needed, and they said no, but it was what mum wanted and she would get comfort from seeing him.
Yesterday I had a very insentitive email from my sister in law, who said she hadnt bought mum a gift as she thought she wouldnt need it. What can I say...................
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your prayers and kind words of comfort.
Brian i has been so concerned I am sorry I havent kept you all updated
Thanks once again
Ann

Keeping in my prayers and thoughts.
Brian(i)

Bless her, surely it would be better to change her drugs again if she isn't feeling well enough to eat. I hope you can tempt her to eat something soon.

Lizx

Bless you all thank you so much
Tonight there is no change, and no food being eaten by mum 5 days now
