A Peaceful End

Stay in the hospital until you take care of them
This is my mother who is dying at the hospital.
Right now I'm out of my mind and I'm not talking
I take nutrients through a nasal tube.
In the midst of every day like that until the last day
Various negative emotions such as anxiety and sadness, even a little
Can I get rid of them and spend my time smiling peacefully
I think about it every day.
Being able to spend a peaceful time and being able to have a peaceful end
What should I do to make it happen
Would that be good?

Bright words make people's eardrums tremble brightly

 Hello.

I'm worried that your mother is in a difficult situation.

In Murakami Haruki's novel “1Q84,” a nurse says this line to the main character “Tengo,” who takes care of her father.
“There's one thing I learned when I was being educated to become a nurse. It means that bright words make people's eardrums tremble brightly. Bright words have bright vibrations. Whether that content is understood or not, there is no substitute for the eardrum physically shaking brightly. That's why we are taught that patients should speak bright words in a loud voice regardless of whether they can hear them or not. That's because whatever the logic is, it's definitely useful. I think so from an empirical point of view.”
I think so too.

Even if you can't have a direct conversation with your mother, be sure to say bright words to your mother in a loud voice.
Also, please take care of yourself. I hope you don't overdo it.

Take care of your mother and yourself

Sakura-sama
My name is Tetsuya Urakami from Nagomi-an.

You're in a situation where you don't want to take care of your mother.
The text conveyed my desire to accept my mother's death and let my mother leave more peacefully than my own, and my heart was warm and sad.

Even when you can't talk or when you're sleeping, if you, your precious daughter, are close to you, your mother will surely feel that warmth and feel at ease.

Even if you lose consciousness, the cells in your mother's whole body will feel the signs of her daughter you've spent decades with, and you'll feel at ease.

And if Sakura wasn't present at the end of her life, please don't lament. I often hear stories about how they can't stand that moment even though they've been nursing for a long time. Please don't lament and say words of gratitude to your mother.

Even after death, a person's life does not end in an instant like an electric switch. In particular, it seems that hearing lives until the end. So please say kind words to them.

And... don't forget to take care not only of your mother, but also of yourself.

★ Read thank you and add
Not everyone can accept the death of an immediate family member that way, but I dared to touch on it a little bit in my first response. This is because I thought that if I had avoided it at all, my upset might increase when that happened.

In any case, they say that if you stay close to your mother, later grief will ease and be easier to accept. Even in that sense, I hope you can do what you can.

So that it can be conveyed that it is love from child to parent

Pat your forehead or head with warm hands.
Please put your hand around your chest and say kind words to them.
It is a great joy for parents to leave this world while being supported and held by their children.
Sending lots of love from you until your mother passes away, and sharing time will also be a force to protect you after your mother dies.
Also, you can feel that even if people disappear, it's not the end, and that relationships continue.
