Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

It hasn't been a good day. My mother was suddenly taken ill last week. She developed pneumonia and transferred to hospital on Thursday evening. Visited her on Saturday and she wasn't doing so well. Was here again this morning and things again had deteriorated. Tonight she has been transferred to the Palliative Section. The doctors have said she could pass away within 24 hours. Sitting here watching her sleep, on morphine, peaceful now, monitors disconnected knowing she won't be waking up.
Rest easy Mum. I love you.

Oh @soul, what a sad time for you. Your poor mum, and who would have known 2wks ago but you'd be saying goodbye. I'm glad she's getting the right care and analgesia. I'm so sorry. Lighting a candle for you, holding you in the light. Rally your supports, coping strategies & self care 💜💕🎍

Oh @soul,

Wish there was something I could say.

My thoughts are with you tonight and coming days.

Big hugs and holding your hand tonight or whatever it is you need at this difficult time.

If I was in your position in the hospital room waiting. A part of me would be thinking 'this is not real' - not happening - a bad dream... How are you holding up @soul ? Thinking of you 🌷🌿

@Grasshopper3@Former-Member@Adge@Determined@Former-Member - last night at 9:15pm, with three of her four children beside her, my beautiful Mum passed away. Her nine grandchildren were able to say their goodbyes during the day. On Saturday night, I was privileged enough to feed her some dinner which was to become her last meal. She looked at a video of my dog meeting up with a local cat and photos of my children on my phone. I was the last person she spoke to.

Always considerate of others, she told me not to worry or stress. Thanks to the wonderful hospital staff, she died peacefully without pain or suffering. Her poor weak little body had worn out. My children have been tremendous support for me whilst coping with their own grief. I am so exhausted yet sleep won't come. Missing her so much 😥

@Grasshopper3, she had a poinsettia tree in her yard.
