Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I hope you start to feel better soon.
I feel a range of emotions at this point in time too.
We’ll get through it.
Our governor has announced that festivals will be able to return this year after Covid shutdowns last year. I love our small town festivals and parades.
NHWM, ((((((hugs))))))) and good thought to you and your mom.
I hope you feel better soon.
Take care.
You hit the nail on the head. I don’t want to have regrets.
I was at the hospital and rehab all the time with daddy.
I saw my brother before he died too. He didn’t last very long in hospice, a few weeks. I was there. He left once to go home but returned shortly afterwards.
I guess I am a bit scared. I don’t know how I would react if I saw her actually die.
Her room has an attached sitting area. Only two people are allowed to visit during Covid.
I am not going to stay away and I stay for awhile. I don’t show mom that I am anxious. Deep inside I feel some anxiety.
Thanks for responding. I want objective opinions so I can see all sides.
I get like that too sometimes. I am relived your mom is calm and has Ativan if she gets agitated and it is a good medication. It helped both my dad and brother during their last days.
Hope you can get some rest today. Perhaps a nap in the afternoon.
The shooting was terrible, we live in such a crazy world. I feel sad for the families.
I messaged NobodyGetsIt. She’s busy with her sick elderly dog.
I am so restless. I pray. I realize everyone leaves this earth. I know that my mom is ready.
Mom is calm. If she is agitated the nurse gives her Ativan. So, I trust that she is comfortable after I leave the hospice facility.
Has anyone ever felt that they want to go everyday but feels that it’s hard to do?
I went just about everyday when she was in rehab.
This is different. I know it’s mom final place. It’s getting to me. Why is this happening? You know, the anxiety. I lost my father in 2002. I know that parents die.
I know mom is peaceful and is expecting her death. She’s not afraid or anything like that.
You know what she told me yesterday? That she loves the color of her walls. They are a very pale peaceful green that has a gray undertone. Green is one of her favorite colors. Blue and green are her favorites.
I feel pressured to be there. She is so happy that I am there. Yesterday I stayed a long time.
I don’t know if I could watch her die. I feel bad that I am so anxious about that.
I don’t know exactly how long she has left.
I’m scared to talk to the nurse about it like I spoke to the hospice nurse about my brother.
Maybe everything is more upsetting because I didn’t sleep well last night.
At least ten dead, including one officer.
