Just don't know what to do.
Cancer.
DH's mum has returned home to hopefully spend her last days at home.
McMillan nurses are being fab.
We have been warned she could die within days.
obviously, she has said she wants no presents- just as many of us with her as much as possible at the moment.
Have managed to find a wonderful card- even finding a 'sensitive' card was a nightmare.
she's unable to eat (unless it is liquidised)- therefore given that she was a chocoholic- its even sad we cannot buy her choccies.
she's 74 and sees links flowers with funerals- so flowers are out.
I thought about pampering her- she loved manicures- so even if i sat there and massaged some lovely handcream into her hands- maybe face cream too? But she is so frail that they've provided a 'air mattress' as simply lying on a bed hurts. so i am sure a massage of any sort is out of the question.
only thing i have thought of to buy her is to ignore her 'hate' of jewellery, and get a heart shaped locket and get DH to put it on her. And it never be taken off.
None of us want to give her anything that she will leave behind.
I know that if it were me, i really would not want anything- but its so hard to do to someone else.
