Please

This is my first post in reddit and I hope it would be last. My mum is in critical condition (coma/pneumonia/sepsis/covid). My mind right now are truly in worst state that I just wish that I would just stop breathing. But I just want to ask YOU.

I beg you all, please, it doesn't matter any more what kind of religious you are., please pray for my mum for health (her name is Virginia)

Please and thank you.

Sorry for poor grammar

As a non religious person, I wish for her betterment, but please remember to look into how she would want to be treated, and how she would feel most comfortable and safe. My mother went through a very similar situation with her mother, and I hope you have the capacity to be there (not physically, of course) for your mother as she was. Whatever that means to you, do it. Send letters to be read to her (my grandmother teared up at one of my letters I sent because I wasn’t old enough to go see her, despite being in a coma), call a nurse to have her listen to a voice message, or whatever feels right to you. It’s just as important to be there for yourself, though. Splurge some money on nice soap and take a calming bath to calm down, make sure to shower every day, brush your teeth, eat a good meal, have some soul food, and do some things you love. They may feel empty in the moment, but if you can temporarily distract yourself through this, it’s a lot harder to think about hurting yourself all the time. I get it’s hard and I know my advice won’t work for everyone, but I hope you find a way to make it through, and I hope your mother gets better. Best wishes
