Question: My mom has late stages of Dementia, Alzheimer's and her doctor had Hospice come to our home? Does this mean she is ready to die, She is in bed and really can't get out, she can't walk or see anymore and hardly eats at all. We are lucky to get 6 ozs of fluids in her and a few droppers of baby cereal into her. I guess I want to know how long before she dies it is very hard taking care of her like this even with help.
Answer: I went through the alzheimers stuff with my dad and i know how hard that is sometimes he would look and tell me that he wanted to die butonce they are stuck and cant do anything yes she is probably in very bad shape mind wise and when my father past away i felt the piece and seen he was happier i was with him and by the way i tolsd him that it was ok because right b4 he died he seemed to be himself and know what was goin on for a short time and knew that he was so ready yes it is sad but when someone is like that they are more likely to have reality thoughts that they just want to go i really did when my dad pass i didnt really cry for like 4 minutes i was right there and i felt something thats why i know now that when u do pass on that something good really does happen i felt it it was like i was in a trans and didnt feel sad i would let her know that it is ok to pass because shes ot eatting getting up or doin anyhting same stuff my father did i would srart lokin and sayin simple things because sometimes they have moments that they know whats goin on they go in and out of these but it doesnt last but a few minutes see i took care my dad i was only 21 so i stayed home with him and payed very much attention to him i was a first trying to refresh his memory with things and thats how i noticed that at short times he would snap into reality and now what was goin on and thats whe he would say he wanted to go but then i would actually see when he went back to the bad part it was really strange but really they do that i did alot of studying for 3 years and never left but as things got worse i just let him know that it was ok and told him to watch me and wed meet back up try watching more ..not saying u dont or anything but try to catch that reality moment youll know it when it comes but it doesnt last but a few minutes and that a good time too either ask or theyll say what they want
