LETTING GO

Lovely Lois from Silver Chain now here with Sandy again. Earlier today Lois put in a sub cutaneous point of entry with a pain management pump so that Sandy didn't need to struggle wtih taking orally any more of the pill cocktails helping her through this.

Sandy has been experiencing more difficulty with her breathing and Lois is now preparing a fast acting sedative, to be followed by a slow acting sedative so as to help Sandy settle and to be as comfortable as possible as she prepares for this final stage.

Sandy, unable earlier to do anything other than try and respond to everything that she hears, has just requested no more talking. She is content to be surrounded by love in silence.

This is obviously not such an easy thing to do - to let go.

Thankyou for sending her your goodbyes.

5 minutes ago i said a little prayer for no more suffering. I noticed 2 little yellow flowers that i had not seen before - just outside the door..........brushing towards the room where you slept here....and logged on. My tears fall.
