We were informed today that they have decided it is time to start
administering pain meds to Ida. Her son gave his permission that it is OK
to do so.

She has been so good for so long, having no pain all these months (since
they diagnosed her with pancreatic cancer back in September). We had
almost begun to think they may have been wrong in their diagnosis, but no
such thing.

=======================================
Forgive me for saying so, but maybe Ida
will be able to go home soon. I hope the
pain meds make her comfortable for her
journey.

I forgive you of course, since it is my wish also that her journey be swift
and painless, but it is still going to hurt rather a lot. It just doesn't
seem fair does it? But then life never is, really.

I hope that her end is peaceful and without pain. I think that
you've done everything you could to make sure that she would be
able to end her days with dignity.

I hope that you and your husband will be able to let her go when
the time comes. I really do recommend hospice for their support
& counseling services at times like these. Their volunteers and
professionals were both a great help to our family as well as my
mother.
