they tried all they could, even experimental treatments but she is far too weak at this point - they are taking the tube out now - and making her comfortable....
I hate this...

(13,399 posts)but I guarantee that she is happy it wasnt the other way around. When my mom was ill with cancer she told us that had always been her biggest fear, having a child go first. She didnt have to suffer that pain.
Wishing her a gentle crossing and peace to you.

(153 posts)My Republican brother and sis-in-law (in Cincinnati suburb) had a big family get-together the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
Kids, grandkids, my mom, the whole local family in Ohio.
No masks - of course not, they're GOOD Republicans!
By the following Monday, almost everyone was sick - apparently one adult son had COVID-19 and didn't know yet.
By Wednesday, mom was in the hospital. She died about a week later. She was 91 years old.
My uncle talked me out of sending flowers to the funeral with this message:
I love you mom - sorry that your son and daughter-in-law committed manslaughter.
Rage doesn't begin to describe..

Been 12 yes for me
What got me through besides the support...
As she was in her early '80's I started to think
"she wouldn't want me to be too sad for too long"
I was concerned I'd end up in the hospital even
briefly with a devastating depression. I did make
it through without getting to that level of emotional pain.
Strength to all who love her.

In the time hereafter have mercy on yourself.

BobTheSubgenius
(11,860 posts)Hate hearing that another person, another family has been torn up by this terrible and at least largely unnecessary horror. NOT that I am REMOTELY suggesting you hold it in. I hope I made the distinction clear. Everyone here wants to offer support, if they can.
I also really hate having nothing to offer other than what are more or less worthless words.
But I sincerely am so sorry.
Moostache
(10,278 posts)My mother lost her battles on 10-Nov-2020 with COVID-19 being the last straw for her ravaged body. I hate that anyone else has to feel this same pain and emptiness. I hope you have people in your life that you can lean on and gain strength from in the hours and days ahead.
It's not fair and it did not have to be this way...its no consolation, but you are not alone. Reach out to me if you need a sounding board or just want to be heard.

(24,513 posts)I can't imagine the pain of not being able to be there with her during her last moments. I had to make the decision to pull the tube from my mom as well and it was totally gut wrenching, the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I hate that you are having to go through this, it was really awful for my family. I hope your whole family is supportive, it's even worse when they're not.
Prayers for you and your family!
