Signs that end of life is approaching

[KurriKurri]

in late stage alzheimers patients

In recent weeks my DF has lost the use of his legs, and is having problems swallowing. He had a minor stroke recently, - which put him in hospital, and I attributed his symptoms to this. But today my mother phoned me to say his appetite is poor, and he is sleeping very deeply for long periods of time during the day, such that he is hard to wake. Although he can be restless and wakeful at night according to the nurses.

I wondered if anyone had any experiences in this area. I feel as if I need to know the truth, and I can't ask my mother

Hugs kk . No helpful advice I'm afraid , just hugs x

Awww, bless your wee da. I'm sure he's in his element when he gets to cuddle the wee man .

Anyway, god to hear you'll take care of yourself. It's hard when you have a parent who possibly doesn't realise who you are at times.

BTW Kurri, have you heard the latest???

It's not out yet .

Here. Have a wee to keep yer wee spirits up (I normally use an optic stand, but that's beside the point).

Anyway, I'll bid you a good night and go to bed.

Take care OP, and I'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening OP. How are you today? How's your wee dad today as well?

Hope your resting and eating well to keep your strength up. Over the next few months, you'll probably need it if you dad deteriorates as it'll be pretty hard on you to hear that he's getting worse. Anyway, just sending you hugs and to cheer you up. Even better, I'll send you a wee and a few to dunk for a bit of comfort at this stressful time.

Got to go out, but will be back soon. Take care 'til then.

Thank you for asking Avenged, and for all those who have been so kind as to post replies.

Sadly my Dear Dad passed away last night. Peacefully and quietly.

Many thanks again for your kindness, and my love to those who have been through this, or who have relatives suffering from this cruel illness.

Sorry to hear that Kurri

So sorry to hear your dad has now gone Kurri. The one thing I will say though is, at least he's not suffering anymore. I'm sure that your dad is now at peace and looking over you.

Don't be afraid to come on here again if you need some kind words and support. If you want to Kurri you can PM me, even just to talk.

Am going to bed now as I've an early GP appointment, but I do hope you're OK. Take care of yourself OP because, in the next few months, I'm sure you'll need it.

Love & respect.

Kurri, thank you so much for coming back , sorry to hear your news, pray that you, your mum and your family are surrounded by wonderful people in the coming weeks
