You have the peace and sanctity of being able to say goodbye, and believing your mother knows you did. Not all have that. God bless.

*UPDATE* Last week she was able to speak, a little. It was a good visit, we saw her twice. Yesterday, a week later, was...shocking. My mom is a breathing corpse. She can't speak, just stares, winces. I fell apart and Dad said we should leave. I don't think I have ever seen him cry. I can't believe at 64 she is dying. She didn't drink or smoke. This was a woman who could talk about sports, politics, history, etc. She is/was larger than life. I took her skydiving for her 50th b-day. She loved roller-coasters, adventure, animals and adrenaline. To see her robbed of her energy, mobility and humanity is heartbreaking. I told her that she is loved and did everything God set her out to do. That it was ok to let go.

Sorry to hear this, Liz. Prayers for her and your family in this difficult time.

I’m sorry. I’ve been there, all you can do is say everything that needs to be said, do what needs to be done and pray that each dose of morphine may be the last. Not being there is far worse and leads to a lifetime of regret.
Being there for someone you love for the end of their time and helping them through it is the noblest and most heaviest of shite in life. I hope you can take some comfort in having the opportunity to be there and tell your mom all the things you needed/wanted to tell her while trying to bring her some comfort. Life is hard, death is sometime harder.
In the end, you may feel some sense of relief. Do not feel guilty for that. It is ok and normal to be relieved that her suffering is over.
I am sorry that you and your mom are going through it and will keep y’all in my thoughts.

Sorry Liz, terrible to read this. Stay strong.

Very sad. Hoping your mom is wrapped in God’s love and grace.

So sorry for what you are dealing with. Prayers

that was the hardest thing for me to say for to my dad before he passed a few weeks ago - but i think he heard us, and was reassured we would be ok.

How do spouses cope? The children are grown, and whether or not it was a happy marriage, this has been "your person" for decades. I am so worried for my Dad. He plans to live part-time in the panhandle and Belize. I was looking around the house, all of the antiques, religious paintings, books. What happens to all of the stuff people accumulate? I told Dad he has to write a will. I need direction, after Mom passes. Where to bury him. This sucks.

The words I told my father still haunt me. Having to give him the comfort cocktail and telling him I need him to let go still eat at me

I fully believe that she will be able to hear me tell that she is the bravest person I have ever met, fearless, even in the face of cancer.
I believe that too. We can all hope that our children will say the same to us when we get there.
Prayers (I really did) for your mom, you, and your family.
