[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry OP. I have been there for the last days with both grandparents, most recently fully taking over the medications duty for my grandfather on the last day as my Mom simply couldn't face it again because of the trauma from her Mom's. It is hard. So, so hard. But so incredibly important. Caring for a loved one as they pass so they can do so surrounded by love is one of the most important things you can do, I firmly believe that. And hopefully you will have the moments of lucidity at the end that give you back a moment or two with the one you love. Lean on the hospice nurses - some of them are angels on earth, and they have seen this journey play out many times, they can help you. And if you are ready, let them know it's OK to let go. My thoughts are with you.[/quote]
