Dying is a lonely journey. Not only for the sick person but also for the family. As hard as we may try to avoid death, the truth is that we do a lousy job of it. Science and medicine will certainly postpone it, even staying healthy might seem to delay it, but the harsh reality is that death does not wait for you, it does not ask you, and it does not listen to you. Death ignores your feelings and wants; you do not matter to death…Death is the only certainty in life! We need to remember that our existence here is fragile, and we never have as much time with people as we think we do. If there is someone or someones out there that you love, don’t neglect that and don’t put off engaging with them because waits for no-one… Vic's Journey ended on 18 January 2013 at 10:35. She was the most courageous person in the world and has inspired thousands of people all over the world. Vic's two boys are monuments of her existence. She was an amazing mother, daughter, sister and friend. I will miss you today, tomorrow and forever my Angle Child.
Vic could live like this. We could live like this. Please let this continue! Today I pray that this is the case. I pray for a miracle. I pray that Vic is in remission.
On the 17th of September Vicky was accepted onto the Hospice program. Dr Sue Walters, the Hospice doctor and Sr Ceza, Hospice Nursing Sister, thought she would die within days. Vic was barely conscious and too weak to walk. Vic was breathing but had already ceased to live!
In two days’ time we celebrate Vic’s “One Month with Hospice” and I think she is getting stronger every day. We still have bad days but her pain control is great! Vic is reasonably mobile; she laughs and spends constructive time with the boys and the family! She is sorting out photos and all sorts of things that she has neglected for months. She is spending less time in bed. She is sleeping less and eating more.
It is as if she has a new lease on life!
Could it be possible that the pain was killing her? Is it possible that the adhesions have stopped their devastating path of destruction? That just maybe the sepsis has cleared?
Vic still needs assistance with basics. Vic could live like this. We could live like this. Please let this continue! Today I pray that this is the case. I pray for a miracle. I pray that Vic is in remission.
