My aunt is 78 years old, and she is not doing well. She took a turn for the worst today. This has been really rough on my family. She was in a nursing home for over 2 months and lost over 40lbs. She is now back at home and on hospice. Anyone who is familiar with that knows it is just not good at all. She is on bed rest and is not allowed to walk around. I spent about 3 hours with her today. It was so sad because she was talking jibberish. She is in a total state of dimensia. Please keep your fingers crossed for a miracle. Thanks.

Hello, you and your family will be in our prayers here in Lakewood, Washington at Full Splice Billiards.

Please also let me offer the following advice. When you have the time too, spend it with her. Hold her hand, and talk to her the way you normally would. Do not treat her different than before, she needs your strength, and you do not know for certain what she actually understands. While she is unable to communicate, this is not proof that she can not hear and completely understand what is being said to her.

When people are close to the end sometimes they will just give up. The love she receives during these trying times alone can make the difference between life and death. Take the time necessary to help her and support her through this difficult situation. If things continue to turn for the worst, do not be surprised if she suddenly becomes alert and able to communicate. In many cases people will regain their mental faculties just before it is time to pass.

I lost my Mother last October, after a battle with health issues. I spent the last three weeks of her life with her and I was at her bed side when the time came. All the things I am speaking about are from my experience with my mothers recent death.

Last of all, by handling things in this manner you will have no regrets if the worst happens.

Hope this helps, and have a good night!!!!!

My thoughts are with you, I can relate to your situation. And that is very good advice indeed from Manwon.
 
I run a business that provides services to Senior Citizens so we see the end life situatrion every day...It is a reality of life...Look back at the good times you have spent with your Aunt...Ask your self did she have a good run a full life..If so no prayers are needed....No one wants tyo see our loved ones go but they do..

I am not the praying type But Boston has got your back I am sure someone is saying a prayer right now


In the end in my opinion it is better to go quitely in the night then suffer more at the end

Good luck be with you

I will keep you nd your entire family in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong and keep the faith.

Man...Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement!

The Kiss, she has had an amazing life! She has traveled all over the world, was married to an incredible man for many years before he passed over 10 years ago, has a daughter who she loves dearly, and my dad and she are best friends. He is her "baby" brother who visits her every day. I have spent A LOT of time with her lately. It is almost as if she is playing a movie of her life and is talking about the past all the time.

She smiles a lot and laughs too. Once in a while, she will say something that makes a lot of sense.

Thanks to everyone for their nice thoughts. I too am not big into prayer, but I am relieved that she does not seem to be suffering.

I hope everyone can have as wonderful a life as she has had up to this point.

Thank you all.
 
People often do not want to let their loved ones go and say things like they are looking good or getting better. The sick person then often feels a responsibility to hang on for their loved ones and this can prolong their suffering. She probably understands much of what is going on. If she wakes up and tries to have that “good bye” conversation with you. Accept it. Death is a part of life. It is as though she is taking a boat trip to another land and you are there to see her off. Remember the good times, wish her well and let her go on her trip.

In the “for what it worth” column. My first wife died in 1992. I had been a hard core scientist for many years with many scientific publications and was by definition an agnostic (still am). Two weeks after she died, my wife came into my study and talked with me. I met and talked with her several times after that and was initially completely blown away by the phenomena. After many years of study I now “know” that life continues after death. I just don’t know what it means or what happens, other than people are much happier there than they were here. There are many resources on the net, see “After Death Communication.” Stay with the scientific studies and it will change your life too.
