This is my mum who died 1 year ago today.
And since this is an anonymous forum I can say what I don't usually share.
Today I emptied one of my credit cards and went to the hospital that made sure my mum was comfortable in her passing by providing the medication I asked them to provide her (midazolam and oxycodone) in her final hours to provide as much peace as possible. I gave them money in a thank you card as I remember having the conversation about ceasing treatment to hasten death and the white board in the office had words to the effect "funds needed:wander alarms £150; other things £x.xx" so I gave a hefty envelope to buy some.
I don't normally share my charity but you folk here have Ben a kind of safety net for me lately and so I wanted to share how I show gratitude for people who are in the position to ease someone's death. That someone was my mum Mary.
I miss her so much..
Where I live there's less than 2 hours left on this my planned day to catch the bus but life as it seems has thrown me a spanner cos I won't be alone.
As true to my username here I'm gonna take things a day at a time.
Shame that medicine doesn't routinely aid in our death in ways they do for others... Such a paradox.
