I know this sounds incredibly harsh and cold but stay with me…
My Mum was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago. Since then she has undergone lots of treatment. In November last year she was told there was nothing more they could do. Since then she has declined and is now mostly bed bound.
In the last 3 months I have lost count of how many times we have thought ‘this is it’. What makes it more difficult is that she lives in Spain so logistically it’s hard to go back and forth.
At this point, we are all emotionally and physically exhausted, most importantly she is too as she has no quality of life right now.
i know some people will think this is cold and heartless but until you have lived something similar it’s so difficult to explain. Has anyone experienced anything similar, where someone lingers for so long and declines so slowly?
