GBM Carers - how could you handle it?

Re: GBM Carers - how could you handle it?

Hi Deni Its a very difficult path. You are doing great support to the best of your ability. You sound aware and caring but no matter how much the outcome is hard. Lorraine is still being adjusted to suit morphine level at hospital to deaden her pain (just got home after a extremely emotional day) Her death is near as we (sister, daughter, close friend and myself) come to terms for us to let go and hopefully allow her to die quickly, now as she has no quality of life available

Thanks Storm for your supportive comments. What we wouldn't give to change this but we can't. You are at the stage we all dread and at the same time hope for expediancy. It is the ultimate gift of love to give someone permission to "let go". Everyone has to move on in some way. Good Luck and Peace Sending you love D
