I did the palliative care for my Mom by myself. It gave me a chance to spend her final days close to her. She had Alzheimers for many years and was not able to communicate with us. She held on for many many weeks and after a while it became apparent to me, that she was holding on for Valentines Day...
the day of love. I said this to herand she managed a feeble little grin, which blew my mind considering she was unresponsive for so very long.
She managed to hold on for 6 weeks until Valentines Day and she passed about 0530 in the early morning hours.
I kept repeating I love you... over and over and somehow she managed a garbled I love you, then, she was gone.
I have never talked about this before. not sure why I am sharing this now, except maybe to let you know I can relate to what you have been going through
