Mom's decline(1)

BethMimi

Hello Everyone,

Anyone here praying for their LO's death?  I feel so guilty but this is no life for her She is already gone and in pain.  I am praying she moves on and be welcomed by the Lord and my Father.  I feel like I can't take much more.  It's been years in the making.

This is very heavy and I hope I haven't brought anyone down.

Thanks

BethMimi,  Don't feel alone, many of us have felt the same and prayed for that to happen. I know I did and my family did for my wife. She passed and we all miss her. We don't miss her the way she was at the end but when she still able to talk and converse with us. May your prayers be answered. Hoot

Bethmimi-

I think many of us can relate.

You’re definitely not alone in this.  I too have those feelings of wishing it was over for her and I.  I hate the dichotomy of hoping for decline but wishing she wouldn’t.  I’m fighting with myself greatly because of this and recently have feelings of despair knowing I will be crushed when she does pass.  But, I still wish it was over.  Gross. I know I’m never going to be the same after dealing with this journey.  Hopefully something good will come of it but I’m not too optimistic bout that. Just doing my best to give her the best life I can for now.

Yes, I do ask for that but I go back and forth between asking for her peaceful death and asking for her to get better. The reason I want her to live is because I want my son to grow up knowing his grandma. The reason I want her to pass away is because she is difficult to care for right now (can be hard to get her to eat, drink, and use the restroom, and communicate). I don't see her ever being back to her old self. The way I think of it sometimes is that it is my job as a caregiver to peacefully anf gradually guide her to her death.

I pray for my mother's peaceful death. I know she misses my dad, they dated for 3 yrs & were married for 60 yrs. I keep telling myself that she is here b/c someone is supposed to be learning a lesson from her. I also hope & pray she doesn't go thru what my father went thru.  He fell 3x, in the first 24 hrs, after we had placed him in a care facility and ended up dislocating his hip. He went down hill very fast and was gone in 20 days.

My prayers are with all of you.
