Hand hold needed. My beloved mum is dying

[Higgeldypiggeldy35]

I am in intensive care with my wonderful mum as she battles double pneumonia from covid. The doctors say there is little hope but in her awake moments Mum tells me she is terrified to die, she doesn't want to close her eyes in case she dies, she isn't ready to die. I am distraught. She looks to me for reassurance and I hold her hand and tell her I love her. What else can I do? How can I help her? What can I expect? Im bereft, devastated, terrified. The thought of my best friend not being here anymore is breaking my heart.

💐💐💐Heartbreaking but you sound like an amazing daughter and there can be no better comfort for your mum than having you holding her hand, next to her.

I am so sorry for your loss, it is heartbreaking. She was so lucky to have you by her side, you sound like you were a wonderful daughter to her. Your dad will need your support now but make sure you look after yourself as well. I know it doesn't feel like it at the moment but time is a healer and it will gradually get a little bit less painful for you all. Thinking of you and your family this Christmas xx

i'm so sorry.

I'm sorry OP.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You Mum was so young. It's good that you could support her before she died. It sounds like she was a brilliant Mum.

I'm glad you've got your family around you.
