Waiting for death.
 
We're waiting for Jane's mother to die.The cancer has taken her body and the drugs have taken her mind.Only 69 and has been in a nursing home for close to six years.

A terrible and sad way to go.Any day now hopefully.

JohnR 12-10-2011 09:16 AM

Very sorry to hear this - give Jane a hug for us.

Sea Dangles 12-10-2011 09:21 AM

A tough way to watch somebody go,especially somebody you love.Keep your strength for Jane's sake and cherish the good times.Sucks that people have to die under these circumstances.Religious whackjobs have prevented us from a more comfortable and dignified means to an end and that is a shame.

Hang in there Norm and best wishes to you and Jane.

Joe 12-10-2011 09:38 AM

That's a terrible experience, sorry you have to go through it.

basswipe 12-10-2011 09:51 AM

Thanks guys.

She now spends all her time at the home waiting.My job now is to take care of the dogs and make sure the house is taken care of,do the grocery shopping,do all the cooking.Taking the stress of daily life from her helps a lot I think.

Though she still won't let me do the laundry!

I actually need to get off this machine and get ass to Stop&Shop.

My sympathy for everyone involved.

Wow,,, VERY sorry to hear. Hang in there.

I think the worst thing is to watch someone suffer and not be able to do anything to help. Stay strong!

spence 12-10-2011 07:47 PM

Yea, sucks but this is what family is for. Stay strong...

I went through the same thing last spring so I know how difficult it is despite the relief that her peace brings. Thoughts and prayers...

Thoughts and Prayers sent Norm

RIJIMMY 12-12-2011 09:20 AM

sorry to hear that. I've been there twice with my parents.
Its amazing what the human body can stand. My mom did not drink or eat for 2 straight weeks, no iv, nothing. My sister and I just sat there and waited.
Its terrible but this is the life cycle, we'll all be there some day. Support, love and stay strong.

Through all the different feelings you will experience in the next weeks at least you know she is not suffering anymore. My sincerest condolences to your entire family.
