absolutely heartbreaking isn't it, all you can hope for is a peaceful end to her suffering - my Dad wanted to die and it broke my heart when he told me one day in hospital "Go home now and forget all about me" Makes me cry now just thinking about it - how could I, but he didn't want me to grieve

Dawnie, I am the emotional one in my family hence why I cant see people as the end approaches,

You know where I am if you need to chat.

My Mum died 3 years ago on valentines day(dementia) she said I cant go on much longer.I just said Mum you are very tired why don't you just have a nice long sleep.I said goodbye and drove 6 hours home .She died just before I got home.Wish I had stayed those few hours but I feel I had said it was ok for her to go.She just went to sleep.
It's an awful time for you.Just be strong

Dawnie, I feel so much for you at this time. A big part of my work is end-of-life care and that includes looking after the relatives.
Have you spoken with anyone about your nan's pain?
Prayers and positive thoughts for your nan, you and all the family.
