My 89 year old mum called 111 on Thursday as she was having trouble speaking. An ambulance took her to hospital and over the last few days she has clearly had more mini strokes and lost her speech first, then her sight, and now is just getting palliative care. She is unconscious and having nothing but morphine. Two of my three sisters are here in the hospital with me, essentially we are yet sitting with her, waiting for her to die. I thought it might be tonight but who knows. I do not know how long I can do this for. Part of me just wants to run away.
