Kelly .. I'm here for you too ... my mom also had a 'living will' to non-resuscitate .. hospice people are God's angels ... they helped with things that I couldn't comprehend!

my prayers are with you ...keep your strength!! ((HUGS))

She will go to a better place, where she is healthy and free from her suffering.

Susan is in my prayers, as are the rest of the family.

My boys are going to go with me on Saturday and visit with her. She is in Cumming, GA - that's about an hour from where I live. Their cousins (her 3 boys) will be there as well. Too bad it takes something like this to get everyone together in the same room....

Hello Kelly,
I don't know you as I'm NOT one of the newbies here, but I just wanted you to know that I am not far from Cumming (maybe a 1/2 hour?). My husband works at the Siemans plant in Alpharetta, so if there is anything you ever need, please don't hesitate to ask. I would be more than willing to lend a hand, ear, or shoulder. I'm sorry that you are going through this right now. What a horrific disease!

Stay strong,
Chris

My BIL called me this morning to let me know that they are transferring her to the hospice wing because she cannot swallow anymore and cannot take food or liquid. She does not want a feeding tube (living will request made years ago) or any other means of support. They have said 1 to 4 weeks is what we should expect. They had to remove fluid from her lungs last night. My sister in VA is out of town on business so I am waiting for her to call me back this morning.

Please pray for Susan - that she can have a peaceful passing. These last four years have been so hard for her and all of us. She went from being able to talk to us to being able to do nothing in 4 short years. She doesn't even make eye contact anymore.

I'm SO tired of losing those I love. I am trying to be strong for my BIL - he isn't ready to let her go. None of us are.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I love ya'll.

Kelly
Kelly my heart goes out to you and your family. I will pray that your sister has a peaceful time on her journey home.

I understand what you are going through my father lasted two weeks after the decision to stop everything at his request in his living will.

My husband fought for 3 years but the cancer finally got him.

You and your family take care of each other because there is nothing more you can do but pray for her peace.

Be strong Joyce
