Hospice is not for me. They keep increasing the morphine until the person dies. Not very Christian at all.
Prayers for you, your mother, and all who love her.
Sending prayers for you and your mother. Many Blessings
Prayers lifting for you all.
I cared for my beloved husband at home, with the help of wonderful hospice nurses, who coached me through his dying process.
My heart is with you, and so are my prayers. Once your mother loses the desire to eat and drink, it is a sign. Hospice will tell you what you can do to help, and what you shouldn’t do.
May you be surrounded by the Holy Spirit, and clouds of angels to comfort you as you keep your mother comforted as she passes.
Tell her, even if you don’t think she can hear you, that you appreciate all she did for you, and that she is the most important person in the foundation of your life, and how much you love her. She probably can hear you, even if you don’t think she can.
Prayers for you, your mother and your family.
You are so wrong, Salvation. Morphine is only used to keep pain at bay, not to hasten death. People dying from cancer frequently have such severe pain that only increasing morphine can manage their pain, so that they can pass peacefully.
Hospice never uses more morphine than that needed to reduce pain. You have been mis-informed.
I watched it with my own eyes as my husband died. I have no love for hospice at all.
There are other ways to deal with pain that can be explored.
Prayers are up for your Mom. May she be in the Lords’ loving arms.
Prayers for your mom, you and your family.
Prayers. No matter how old we are, or how old they are, your mom is always, your mom.
Perhaps you would prefer no pain meds so you can die in excruciating pain. Hospice workers are angels on earth. For you to call them un-Christian is outrageous.
Prayers for your mother’s suffering to be eased and prayers for you and your family at this time.
Prayers and sympathy to you. I lost my Mom to dementia, but she was 10 years younger than your mother. It’s hard to go through for everyone.
Thanks for sharing. But, seriously?
Our Dee had breast cancer that came back seven years later and attacked her bones. There was little hope for her. Her BONES were being eaten alive by this EVIL cancer. I HOPE that never happens to you...or me.
I feel they were doing G-d’s Work by keeping her comfortable in her last days. And these truly WERE her, ‘last days.’ She was in Hospice care for 72 hours, total.
If she wasn’t medicated she was SCREAMING IN PAIN for hours on end. Do you really think that G-d wants that for any of us as we shed our Mortal coil?
I wouldn’t allow that kind of suffering for one of my DOGS, let alone a HUMAN that we (And G-D!) loved so much.
Prayers for the family and for Jesus to hold her hand.
Father, Your Spirit is Comforter. We are asking for His ministry in each member of mabarker’s family. Grant traveling mercies as they all come to be together at this time. If there is any question about her relationship with Your Savior, Jesus, we pray that the clear Gospel would be spoken and that You would enlighten understanding to receive. May this be the time that each family member would commit his eternity to Jesus. Give wisdom and skill to all medical personnel caring for mom.
You are a merciful, gracious and loving God, and we commit everyone involved into Your loving care. Thank You, Sir, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Thank You All So Much!!!
(and those that Posted to this thread that are not on this PING LIST, I will respond ASAP to All of You.)
I know that Mom is Hearing and Feeling everyone’s Prayers.
When My Father Passed away I was the one that kept it in check and dealt with All the details.
And I’m the “Baby” of 3 Siblings.
I’m gonna most likely “Lose it this time”
