It will be for the last time as there is no further treatment possible other than pain relief. She wants to be at home with all of us so we will do everything we can to make whatever time she has left comfortable and stress free. We will have support from Macmillan and district nurses and should there come a time when we are no longer able to cope, DD has agreed to go into a hospice.
Family support has been wonderful but I have to admit I'm a little scared and very, very sad.
Oh my dearest Merlot. You have shared your saddest thoughts with us here, and I am in tears, what can I say? You will find the strength for this, your hardest task. Thoughts and prayers go to you and all your family.
Thinking of you and wishing you all the strength you will need to face the coming weeks. Home is the best place for your darling daughter now and family is what she and you need.
Dear merlot, it has all been said previous by all us grans. We are all reaching out for you and your dear daughter at this very sad time. Your head and heart will be all over the place but give your daughter all the warmth, love you have. She will be yours forever. Thoughts are with you and your family.
I hope so much that this will be a peaceful family time for her and for all of you - to share memories and say goodbyes with the wonderful professional support of nurses who are there for her (and also for all of you) and whose focus is peace, honesty, dignity and freedom from pain.
Merlot so sad for you everything you are feeling is normal of course you are scared but so much better for your daughter to come home instead of staying in hospital . I would have so liked to have been able to do that. Thinking of you all, you will find the strength to manage this be together as much as you can
Merlot, I was thinking of you over Easter and hoping your darling daughter could come home to be with you all. Sending you love. Your hearts must be breaking.
