Subject: Re: Wednesday Chat 05.13.09 by vetteblondie on 2009/5/15 2:16:18 I've had a little help but most of the time I'm at it alone. The worst part, she knew she was dying and cried about it each evening and there was nothing I could do but slowly watch her go. She was 100% in her right mind the entire time, just with a failing heart, so there were a lot of emotions there for her as well. How do you comfort someone in that situation? I don't mean to be sad and gruesome, but the hospice books helped a lot but came too late really. But if any of you are interested, this is some good reading for those of you who will one day face this. http://www.shepherdcarehospice.com/in ... task=view&id=33&Itemid=87 She cried on Easter and asked me to not leave her, just be with her and I held her hand till after she took her last breath. |
