I'm doing the night shift with her tonight. She hasn't eaten for days and only managed an occasional sip of water through a straw. She hasn't been conscious for most of the day (probably due to her meds been increased) when she is conscious she can barely speak and is confused)
It's been a painful long drawn out illness.

I empathise and sympathise with you nailit. My siblings and I took turns at vigil with my father. Sitting there through the night listening to the labored breathing, wondering when it will cease. I missed his passing, my sister was with him. Your mother will be guided and cared for, this is not the end. I wish you love and healing.
