He has said that within possibly 24 hours. She had a rough night from what my sister told us, but they kept her sedated. Her breathing is very shallow.

My heart goes out straight to you at this extraordinarily difficult time, imanamerican63.
Well keep a vigil with you, and well be here to listen and to comfort when you need it. You wont go through this alone.

(6,670 posts)I told her that she was safe... that she was loved and surrounded by family. I reminded her that she had a good life and that she had reached the end of the journey and it was time to let go. I told her that we loved her very much, and that we would miss her... BUT that we would be okay, and that she would be okay.
I don't know if she heard me. Maybe. Maybe not. --- But I do know that she died just a few hours later.
Sending peace and strength to you and your family.

(8,723 posts)There was about 7 or 8 of us around her bed. We were all talking with each other, when, at the same moment, we all stopped and looked at our mother/grandmother.
It was evident she had just breathed out her last; her soul returned home.
It's hard; emotions got very intense, but we knew it was for the best.
She suffered a long time with terminal cancer, and there was no hope except for an end where we were all there to see her on her way.
And we did.
It is my fervent hope that love carries you through this difficult time.

(15,074 posts)When my father was unresponsive in hospice, I sang twinkle twinkle little star to him, and told him he was the best dad, that he had done a great job throughout life making the world a better place, and he could go, he didn't have to worry about us or mom.
It hurt then, and I still miss him, but wasn't fair to him to linger trapped in a body - or he may have already been part of the stars by the time they put his physical form to the hospice wing.
Hugs to you.

(35,130 posts)I have done this with my mother, father and my 2 brothers. You will never regret the time you spend now. Take all the time you need. You will feel fine then crash from time to time. We will understand. Warm hugs to you and your family. It is a hard trip for you but a gentle release for your mother.
