Aging and spouses/family members

[southernlady]

They stopped the IV on Tuesday. She hasn’t had any fluids other than mouth moisteners for over two days. Rachael Skyped with me from her room this afternoon - her breathing was becoming labored but she was completely non-responsive. She’s being given pain meds that are absorbed through the oral mucosa. If she hasn’t already passed, it surely will happen sometime today.

I’m mostly cried out. I just want her to be at peace.

I am so sorry. The waiting is so hard.

You know I have weird sleep patterns. Call or text any time.

Mom passed away this evening. I’m somewhere between cried out and numb and relieved that she is at peace.

I'm so sorry, Diana. Even when one knows it's coming it's still devastating. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I'm sorry. Even when we know it's coming, and that we've done all we can for our parent, it doesn't make it any easier. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I am very sorry @DianaCox . I hope you are taking good care of yourself!

I’m OK. Still crying a lot. My sister has it worse - she’s dealing with the reality and details.

We need to figure out what to do with the cremains - the cemetery where her parents were interred in the 1970s is trying to rip us off. There is a plan. It may not be strictly legally copacetic - which would please and honor our mother immensely.
