Your mother sounded very brave Vam. She didn't want you to see her lose her dignity and as you say it sounds as if she had made her peace with going. That was a very touching post, and I thankyou for sharing it xx My father had no idea he was so ill, he had breathing problems that day but he often did. The doctors decided he did not need oxygen in the house. They were wrong. He attended a hospital appointment that day, even drove there and my Mum noticed his breathing was more laboured than usual. But she still had no idea it was his time. I remember him squeezing my hand and smiling. It was a lovely smile and thats how I remember him. He must have known what was happening as he managed to tell my younger brother "you're the man of the house now". He passed peacefully a day later, his favourite music on his headphones and all of his family around him.
The best way to go imo...peacefully, surrounded by family. x
Amen tothat!
Except, only the ‘peacefully’ part could apply in my case, given that the few family members I have left are scattered all around the globe. So the best I can hope for when my time’s up, is to just peacefully slip away in my sleep 🤞🏻
Hopefully it wont be anytime soon.....for any of us. x
