unfortunately, my mom passed away just a few short hours after my last post. i called so many of my relatives that night cause i needed help, but everyone was fast asleep and didn:t hear their calls. i called hospices, and they all told me to call back in the morning. so i stayed by my mom:s side while she was racked with pain and finally passed. i had no idea it would be so soon.
though you are all strangers, i feel like you have all been by my mom:s side. thank you for all your support.thank you so much for your response. i’ve been pretty much caring for my mother on my own, and honestly, i don’t know what i’m doing. i’m just trying my best. seeing your response and being able to read everyone’s experience helps so much. i had so many questions and reading this board since it began has helped answer so many of them.
right now i’m thinking of hospice care. i emailed my mother’s doctors about it, but haven’t heard back from them. problem is, i’m reluctant since i feel that my mom would prefer to be at home. but its so much for me by myself. my latest dilemma has been trying to figure out how i’ll get my mom to pee when she loses the strength to sit – we’re getting there – she hugs/leans on me to keep herself up. would a few hours a day from a visiting nurse suffice? what does she need? what more can i give?
