I tell her that her family is waiting for her in Heaven. I pray to God, he takes her soon. I am up and down, mood wise. My dog gets me to the dog park. I don’t really want to go out, but I force myself. I know it is going to be tough when she dies. But, it is more tough watching her waste away.
Don't feel you need to be with your Mom every minute. Usually on one's final journey they either like to be surround by family, or they want to pass on their own without the family getting upset at that moment. I was with my Mom when she passed, but my Dad waited until I left his room.
Yes, it is tough watching a love one waste away, their quality of life has been limited for some time now. I didn't want my Dad to leave me, but I knew he wanted desperately to be with my Mom who had passed less than a year before.
