I recently lost my mother to lewy body dementia I watched her take her last breath me giving her meds every 2 hours all night on hospice care with no one to help but a phone call to tell me what I need to dothis is the most painful thing I ever had to experience 12 hours of her suffering and seemed in pain watching her heart beat out of her chest gasping for her next breath I feel like I’m losing it I’m an emotional wreck I definitely was not prepared for it we never talked about death or what her wishes were my dad was a full body burial/ but she has no insurance policy and super expensive very confusing on cremation with her religion not sure what to do. Help
I’m sorry you had to watch her actively die without any professional around. That doesn’t sound right at all
The Bible says ashes to ashes. Its only because of embalming that this does not happen. Do not go into debt because of a certain religion. Get her cremated.
Hospice expects the family to do it all and to call them when your loved one dies. It is then that they come to the house to call the time of death, call the funeral home, and pick up any unused medications.
Again...sad but true.
I’m very sorry for the loss of your mother.
I’m sorry you’re going through this.
