[QUOTE="quad, post: 16257689, member: 17952"] Sorry for your loss. Your final moments with your mom is very sad. I will also have to deal with this in the future. My stepfather passed away in 2015 after a 2 year battle with lung cancer. They removed one of his lungs and it hurt seeing how much pain he endured after that. He also went for chemotherapy etc. but they just could not stop it. He was 75 and still wanted to live. I visited him in South Africa 1 week before he passed away. My mother told me after he took his last breath his mouth opened and blood came out. Just so sad to think all he had to go through after all his struggles in life. He was completely emaciated in the end. But his personality was never broken. I recall he was in a recliner and could not keep his eyes open but could hear the conversations in the room. I was looking for a chair to sit in and my mom offered a fragile looking wooden chair. He yelled across the room I was too heavy for it and it would break. My mom insisted it would be fine. Well I sat on it and it broke within a few seconds and he yelled back with his eyes closed: "I told you it would break he cannot sit in those chairs"! I witnessed the last breath of my wife's mother. I was there with her family and they were all talking about past times trying to deal with her illness and not watching closely. One of my mother-in law's sisters was also watching her breathing and we told everyone we think she has passed away. A nurse came in and confirmed she had died after checking her pulse. My wife and brother-in law's daughter burst out in tears and it was really hard to see their sorrow. [/QUOTE]
