End-of-life care at home: a personal diary of my Mum's final days. Today I'm sharing my experience of looking after my Mum during her final days at our family home in Edinburgh. The physical changes Mum went through in her final days and hours, how my brother and I tried to make her last days enjoyable, navigating nursing staff and hospice carers coming into her home. And some self-care to get through the challenging days and nights. My hope is to provide insight, support and comfort to others going through a similar journey. Hugs to anyone who needs one! ❤️ #dianeindenmark #flylady #endoflife #hospice 00:00 Caring for a loved one who is dying, end-of-life care, hospice at home 03:25 Mum's decision to die at home 05:27 Diary of my Mum's final days 05:53 Changes in food intake, appetite, liquids 08:46 My Mum's final drink, pink gin and tonic 11:16 Mum's medication, syringe driver, morphine 12:30 Changes in breathing, Cheyne Stokes breathing 13:48 Setting up Mum's bedroom for ease of care 22:00 Mum's final words 24:30 Self-care when caring for a loved one who is dying 29:00 The final moment with Mum 30:45 Practicalities after the death of a loved one 31:30 Mum's funeral and music 32:00 I hope this video will be a comfort to those of you going through the same thing If you're aiming for a healthier and more intentional lifestyle in 2024, you're in the right place!
