My sister is now on end of life palliative care. No machines, no meds, except for morphine. I managed to speak to her on FaceTime earlier today. It was hard at first to know if she could hear me, but she opened her eyes and waved her arms about a bit, so I did feel that she knew I was there. My nephew’s wife asked her to squeeze her hand if she could see and hear me, and she did, so I was pleased.
It won’t be long now. This is the hardest thing I’ve been through. When I lost my parents, it was desperately hard, but we expect to outlive our parents. Losing a sibling is something else altogether. I miss her so much.
I wish I could hug you right now Sheba. May she have a peaceful passing. Losing my sister was and is the hardest thing to live with, my heart truly does go out to you.
May God give you strength to get through your grief.
I feel your pain Bathsheba - it’s something that is really difficult for a family to go through, but go through it, you must. Be brave for your sister’s sake.
Thankfully, the morphine will remove any pain and discomfort for her and will help her slip away peacefully.
Of Bathsheba, I’m so sorry to read this. My heart goes out to you and I send my very best wishes to you. I know from experience how heart breaking it is to watch a beloved sister coming to the end of her life. Try to stay strong, safe in the knowledge that her suffering is coming to an end.
How very sad for you all , I’ve been thinking of her . I have a sister who is dear to me and I cant immagine how it must feel . I am truly sorry . No words can help .
