Thanks, everyone. As I have told some of you in PMs, when my Dad was passing, I went home for a shower and change of clothes - he went whilst I was away. I still cannot forgive myself for that. I don't want the same happening with my Mum.

Tomorrow 24th Jan. will be 4 years since my Dad passed on - I am wondering ...........

My sons wish me to pass on their thanks for all the support you are giving me - they didn't think 'strangers' could be so caring!! I told them a stranger is just a friend you have not yet met!!

Love to you all

Please hun don't feel guilty about being away when your dad died, my sister works on a ward for geriatrics and she says time & time again it seems that her patients wait for their loved ones to leave before letting go, it's almost like they want to spare them the pain.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. xx

Hi Hazel,

I know what you are feeling about your dad, i had to come home from MK to Heathrow when my dad was dieing, within few hours of me getting back he died, I knew i should have stayed but was made to come back home.
So yes you shouldnt feel guilty but we do. I was so glad i could be with mum when she went. As being i was living in MK

But still thinking of you and your family.

Take Care

Hazel

Hazel, 19 years today since I lost my Dad, I visited him around this time in the hospice but he didn't really know anyone was there I don't think. I went home to pick up my son from school and Mum phoned me around 4 to say she wouldn't want a lift home as a nurse would take her when she left off, Mum told me the nurses were just turning Dad - he had lung cancer and was out of it on morphine. Ten minutes later the nurse rang me back to say my Dad had died, we think the nurses turned him to help him pass as he was drowning in fluid in his lungs. My Mum wasn't with him at the time he died and neither was I but it was a peaceful passing and if he had known anything he would have known we were with him not long before.
Please don't feel guilty if things happen and you are not there, your Mum wouldn't want you to make yourself ill and nor would your family. Try taking some Rescue Remedy before you go in to see her and you will stay calmer, and be able to talk to her and hold her hand and say all you want to say. Maybe your Dad is waiting to take her to be with him soon.
Will be thinking about you,
love
Lizxxx

Hi Hazel,
Just want to say that I am thinking of you and your mum and am sending hugs to you. Please dont feel guilty if your not there at the end, I believe that they never pass over on their own, one of their loved ones always comes to take over, hope this helps.

My poor Darling is hanging in there by a hair's breadth. Apparently she had a mini-stroke last night. She looked lost in the bed today, hardly realise anyone there but for her head.

She doesn't seem to be seeing. I just want relief for her.

Hello Hazel, been thinking about you and hope your Mum doesn't suffer any longer, why not just whisper to her to go to sleep, she might feel easier knowing she doesn't have to keep fighting....

I feel for you seeing her like that, it must be so hard and make you feel so sad.

Take care,
Lizxxxx
