All most there
Well I wish I had some good news. As helpful as the alternative medicine has been in getting mom’s blood counts where they need to be she is now in the end stages of dying. She has been in and out of consciousness for almost 2 weeks. Her liver (where her largest met is) suddenly failed.
I would never, ever had thought that I would wish she would just go but I, my dad and my four siblings are there now. She would not want to be lingering on in this way. She would not want us sitting vigil for weeks on end at her bedside.
Although it is heartbreaking I want you all to know that she lived a short but full and happy life and leaves us with very few regrets.

I’m sorry your Mother’s liver failed and that she is lingering on. Please trust that when she is ready she will let go. When my Father was dying my sister and Mother all told him it was OK for hims to leave us. We assumed he could hear and understand even when unconscious.

I am so sorry to hear this. I can somewhat understand where you are. I am not there yet, but my mother is also sick with BC. Right now she is doing well, but we know that won’t last forever. I wish there was something I could say to make it better, but of course I can’t. I too hope that when the time comes, Mama won’t linger. She wouldn’t want that. I hope and pray that your mom is in little pain and will go quickly and peacefully. Try and hang in there. I know it is heartbreaking. You and your family will be in my prayers.
PS- I tried to find your moms story. I could only find one post. I wondered about her journey.
Dear Jane — I am another one who would urge consideration of involving hospice.
In my experience (in the end stage of relatives and close friends) they do a good job of controlling pain in the end stage and can be empathic support, as well. My heart goes out to you and your family and I, too, will keep you in my prayers. Susan (mssmr)Jane so sorry to hear about your Mother. I hope you will call Hospice if you haven’t already as they can make sure she is not in any unbearable pain. My heart goes out to you and your family…Pat
I am very sorry to hear about you Mom Jane I know this is a difficult time. No one wants to lose one of their parents nor do we wish to watch them suffer. I will keep your Mom in my prayers and pray your whole family finds peace. Joe
Jane,
I am so sorry. I know how hard this is…Please know that I am praying for you and your family. I hope that she goes peacefully and quickly, and that her suffering at this point is minimal. I can tell that she must have been a great mother since she seems to be surrounded by a strong, loving family.
With Love,
Karen
