Fibromyalgia Support Group

I will pray for you and family.

I am sorry for all the pain that is felt during a time such as this.

Do you mean Steve will have to decide whether to keep his mom on life support or not?

Awhile back, I and hubby visited our attorny and had papers drawn up, for me, instructing not to keep me alive.

My hubby and family knew my wishes but I figured it would be easier on them if I had the last say on this subject.

In other words, they could not interfere with the documents and would not ever have to feel the least bit of guilt.

Please know all of you are in my thoughts.

Hospice care is a wonderful thing. They'll keep her comfortable until the end.

bless you all,

I had to do all this alone as my 3 brothers jst wntd $$$ which they wern't going to get so they weren't arnd much. This played hell on my fibro bit u do wht u have to do. You & ur family will be in my thoughts & prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Steve's mom. I will keep all of you in my prayers. It's sad to hear this. Hospice is a wonderful thing. We had it with my dad when he passed and when my father in law passed. They were wonderful. I can't say enough about them. If she has to go, I hope she does not linger and suffer in pain. It is hard for the patient and all family when that happens. My dad hung on and did not want to leave us. We finally reassured him that we would be okay without him, that he must let go, that we did not want him to continue to suffer. I hope that doesn't sound terrible to you, and I apologize if it does, but it is so terribly hard for all involved when they linger for so long.

Connie, I know you believe in the power of prayer and have your faith. You have all of us also. Please PM me anytime you want to talk to someone alone. I sure have enough experience in dealing with hospice.

May God watch over all of you and give you the strength you need to get through this very difficult time.

Connie I am worried about you. Please do not get involved in caring for her. Patient care for someone that ill, is extremely difficult, especially for someone that has so many health issues such as you do. I worry about your health, so please take my advice. Hospice will do anything you want. They will do your shopping, watch children so adults can spend some alone time with the patient without children, in case they have something they want to express to the loved one that might not be appropriate in front of a child. Take full advantage of them Connie. I don't want you to have problems because you are trying to help too much. You have become very special to me and I am concerned about your well being, hon.

Again Connie, I will hold you and Steve and his mom in my prayers and ask my close friends to pray for her too. Can you tell me her first name so we can pray for her by name?

Take care sweetie, I am here for you. Keep in touch and let us know what transpires each day.

Lots of Love, Prayers and warm gentle hugs~
