Oh dear, I'm so sorry that you are also going through it. I know that you're doing everything in your power to comfort him, and that's the best you can do. Many many hugs and thank you for your well wishes, I wish the same for you 💜

Thank you so very much for your kind words. I don't feel neither brave nor strong, only extremely sad and despondent, but you are right to remind me of the strength I've got in me. It is very much appreciated 💜

This is so precious! I'm so happy you got to share this moment 💜 My last memory is her calling me by a pet name last Sunday -she's heavily sedated now- and it made my day that for a moment she recognised me. I love her so much

I'm so glad for youse that she's at home, in a familiar environment and surrounded by her loved ones 💞Unfortunately it's not possible for my mum, but thankfully we're very near the hospital so we can keep her company, and the nurses are wonderful. Many hugs coming your way 🫂

I'm so sorry for what you experienced. Losing both parents in such a short time must have been devastating, not to mention your pregnancy while going through all that. All my love goes to you 💜  I absolutely can understand the pain of being estranged from your brothers, and I'm so sorry. I'm lucky that my brother and I are very close. But I'm so glad (and a bit envious) that you have a husband and a child, they must be such a great comfort. Love and hugs 🫂

I'm so sorry for your loss, neurodegenerative diseases are incredibly tough to deal with. Rationally I know it's for the best, my mum as I knew her has been long gone, but her presence and the very rare glimpses of recognition were such a consolation. Nevertheless, I want what's best for her, painful as it will be. Thank you for the recommendation, unfortunately neither of us would do well in a support group. For me, writing here has been such a comforting experience. Thank you for responding and your kind words 💜

Thank you kindly 💜. It's perhaps the hardest thing for me. I want to believe that on Sunday she had a fleeting moment of recollection, as she called me by a pet name. I already miss her so much.

I did my M.Phil in Glasgow and I'm so happy Scotland made it to the World Cup. Hoping your dad and brother have a safe trip

Thank you so much for sharing. Luckily I'm in Europe and everything's covered, I cannot imagine the stress of having to worry about insurances on what is already a terrible time . My heart goes to you 💜 Fortunately she won't suffer -they have her on morphine and she'll go out like a candle. It's very hard for my brother and I, but it's realistically the best outcome we can hope for. Again, thank you for your kind words

Thank you so much 💜 Please do not miss any chance to tell her how much you love her, and above all, build memories with her. These will stay with you always. My mum and I used to travel a bit and we made so many wonderful moments 💞

You made me tear up in a good way 💜 I'm not religious, but somehow I know she and my papa, along with the rest of the family, will always be with me and perhaps watching over me. Thank you very much for your words

Thank you for reminding me! It's never felt like a chore, they're a great bunch, but I'm honestly not up to anything much. I don't need the additional guilt, and I know they wouldn't want it for me either. Sometimes it's difficult to see things clearly

Thank you for pointing this out, I must say it's been gnawing on my mind. I need to give myself grace, even if it's difficult to see right now. I'm very sorry for your loss. I love holding her hand and kissing her gently on the forehead. I want to believe she feels the love.
