last stages of death loved ones

I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.

Hi. I think therapy would benefit you greatly, in teaching you how not to obcess over this so that it doesn't consume you. Most people have some fear of death and we all worry about losing our loved ones, it's normal. Having lost most of my family, this same worry consumed me. The biggest lesson all these losses taught me is that no amount of worry in the world will change what will be, it only makes us sick.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your Annabelle. I lost my Maddie (16) just last week, and understand the pain you are going through. I picked up her ashes yesterday, and attached to the box was this: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened," Anatole France We couldn't hurt this much had we not loved, I found comfort and thanks in those words... I hope you can too.

I'm only 20, and currently have insomnia through fear of death, having only lost one grandparent and all great grandparents still alive at the age of 90+ I have no reason to be fearing death, but I do, every waking second of every day I am contemplating my own existence, wondering why we are here and how, I have no religious or spiritual beliefs and believe that death is like being before birth, which is what scares me the most, how can such majestic creatures like humans just stop being as

It is usual for adults for forget that these little ones are present when they are talking. But if he knows nothing of it, then why has it been kept secret? And what does he think happened to her? Does he feel she left because she didn't want him? That is much worse than her dying. If he really has no inkling, you might mention his mother's death casually in the course of conversations. Little by little, over time, he will ask questions and you will answer them.

From one that has been there, I am so sorry about your mother, but this is for you also, it is very hard to be the caregiver at the end of a loved ones life.

My 90 yr old mother died last night in Hospice care. She was in a nursing home for 4 years, where I visited her daily. When we knew the end was near we called in Hospice. When it became evident that she was in the final stages and gasping for breath they administered morphine, orally, then a suppository, then orally again. It all happened so fast but when the last dose was given I was overwhelmed.

All in all the result may have been the same. We are not in control of what happens. I think we learn to live with the loss of our loved one, but we truly do never get over it. Hope you find some comfort. Take care.

Hi, My 11 year old maltese was diagnosed with chronic renal failure in November '14. She is on Pepcid and blood pressure meds. A few days ago she was also diagnosed with Demodex and is on oral medicine to cure it. I am going into the vet's office on Friday for new blood work / check up. I am have read about other dogs' symptoms and I am wondering if there is any sort of progression with the symptoms.

s girl and looked after him the last 15 years. The last almost eight years my dad lived with us after the death of his second wife. He was diagnosed with end stage lung disease in December of 08. As his health declined I was his caregiver. I have been a nurse for most of my life. He did not want to go to a nursing home or a hospital. He wanted to die in my home, which after all those years became his home too. I honored his wishes. He died with me at his side and holding on to him.

Last night I mentioned to my husband that the numbness in my left hand seems to be spreading all through my left arm, shoulder and down the left side of my torso. He said “well then, I guess you better call Dr. D or go to the hospital.” I got exasperated, and reminded him I’d already talked to the MS clinic nurse who said even if this is a relapse, they don’t treat numbness unless it is causing a problem with functioning.

of 1997, my 19 year son was shot and killed by gang members. I am very involved with a group who helps others who have lost loved ones, not just children, to violence. You may want to check out Compassionate Friends. They are a national org. that works with parents who have lost children to any means. I am involved with Parents Of Murdered Children, but CF is a great group. I was involved with them, before I found POMC.

I am male 16, and i was always fairly happy, i went through stages of feeling down as we all do or did about how i look, being rubbish with girls, the usual................. but now im really worried, ive started thinking about how insignificant my life is i will just die soon, and ive lost ambition in everything because i dont feel like there is any point in doing things when it will all be forgotton, will disappear.

I think there are different stages of addiction..the early stages which are most easily broken and then the last stages where one has to do or die. Actually as i type I realize that one always has to do or die because if one does not stop in the early stages it can progress to a much more difficult time and a more difficult recovery.

sorry forgot to add, what are these stages and how does one find out what ones status is?

When Adam and Eve were created they were given the choice of obedience and life, or disobedience ( eating of the Tree of Knowledge ) and death. They were given no promise of being transported to heaven as a reward or the threat of eternal torment as punishment. There are numerous references in the Bible to death being done away with eventually, as part of the solution to all of mans ills and death is referred to as an enemy in 1 Corinthians. So this is my thinking on why we fear death.
