About living with a person who has Alzheimer...Part 6

My mother's nurse calls us. My mother and she are in the hospital waiting for an examination because the mother has not urinated for two days. We immediately go to the mother. We enter a room with a dozen patients, a small room in the hospital's internal ward where the worst, dying patients end up. .

Everything becomes clear to us. The mother is in critical condition. We enter that room and see our only one. She is not aware of anything, she is breathing hard, she is not saying anything, she is lying helpless and we are crying.

She was transferred to the ward, she is in the room with another woman. They connected various devices and infusions to her.

Finally the doctor appears and tells us that the mother has sepsis-blood poisoning and that it is only a matter of time. We know that the time has come to say goodbye to our only mother .... She is breathing very hard, wheezing, her throat is full of slime. I go to the doctor and beg her to make her breathing easier.

The nurse comes and clears her throat. At last she breathes easier. Mother feels us, every touch drives tears from her eyes. Oh, how are we going to survive her departure, God, how ??

The third day has passed, the mother is still in a worse condition.She adored my husband. I tell her that he is there and that he is taking care of her, she had a lot of trust in him.

At the mention of my husband, suddenly my mother reacts strongly, she cries, she wants to say something but she can't.

That evening we say goodbye to her and tell her that she is waiting for us, that we will come again soon.

Seven-twenty minutes in the morning, my cell phone rings. I'm already shaking slowly because I know ... A woman's voice answers and asks me if I'm the daughter of SG. I answer that I am and I know what she will tell me.The nurse tells me: Unfortunately your mother passed away this morning at 5 o'clock. I want to express my condolences to you. When can you come to the hospital?

My sisters and I will be here as soon as possible.

I'm crying, I stuck my head in the pillow so that the children wouldn't hear me. My son was very connected to my mother, how can I tell him?The day before, my sister bought our mother a beautiful red dress. She loved red dresses. We did all the necessary things around the funeral. I don't even know how we had the strength at all.

But all three of us were in shock, even though we were expecting our mother’s death.The day before the funeral. The younger sister wants to see her mother, the older one can't stand it, and unfortunately neither can I. I decided not to see my mother and now I regret it. I supported my mother when my father passed away and we went to see him together. last time. I know what I went through then and I can't go through the same thing again. Mother forgive me, I can't see you for the last time. Forgive me mother for being so weak, you know that you were more than my mother.

You were my best friend, we had a special relationship.

My son couldn't come to the funeral, he didn't have the strength, he was only 16. It was all like a dream. All those people in black,sadness, tears ... Even though 10 months have passed since my dear mother is gone, every day comes to my mind, every night before I fall asleep the tears run down my cheeks. I don't know when that pain will pass. I don't think it will ever pass.

Therefore, my dear ones, take care and love your parents while they are alive, and when they are sick, take care of them.

Give them as much love and patience as possible, because they will leave you quickly
