DF at end of life

My DF is receiving palliative care. He has a life limiting illness. He’s so unwell and weak and my poor DM is doing everything for him
i help where I can but it’s mostly on her.
seeing them both suffer is breaking my heart.

Hes barely mobile and we have to lift him from the bed to a wheelchair but he mostly just sleeps.

I feel like I’m playing a cruel waiting game and that every day will be his last.

He’s drugged up on morphine and MST but then he can be awake and alert for a while.

My DD is going to be heartbroken when her Bampy goes and I’m dreading having to tell her.

So sorry @kissmyfatass. Even though it was anticipated, I know it’s still so hard.

I’m so sorry. I hope your Mum has a good GP and is getting some support. And you too x

Thank you. Still sorting the funeral out. The waiting is awful. Trying to keep busy sorting the house out with DM and getting out with my DH.
I have to go back to work at some point too
