My mamaw is a strong woman.
She has 5 kids.
She had her youngest when she was 40.
She lost her husband when my mom was about 16. She never remarried, or even dated. She loved him.
She’s battled schizophrenia.
She’s survived a lot of stuff that stemmed from that.
She overcame a few strokes.
She’s fighting bladder cancer.
She just beat covid.
And was fighting AFIB.
A few days ago, the nurses at the nursing home found her unresponsive, lips blue. They were able to get her stabilized.
It happened again at the hospital. And she was stabilized again.
She got sepsis, and has been saying her stomach was hurting. They think the cancer has spread.
She had several seizures after she ate yesterday.
I was able to FaceTime her earlier, and my two year old told her hi, and babbled a bit to her and she smiled. She always asked my mom about him.
They said there isn’t anything that they can do for her and are starting comfort care. I probably won’t get to see her again.
My mamaw is one tough woman. I hope by some miracle she can still pull through.
Before my papaw passed away, my mom said he saw a lady at the door and asked who it was. And a few hours before my late husband passed away, he was doing laundry at a laundromat, and said there was a guy there and he felt like the guy was putting a hex on him.
My mom sent a text and said my mamaw just asked where my papaw went.
I just wanted to vent. I know this is hurting my mom so much. I don’t know what to do or say as it is hurting me too.
