Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I wrote earlier that my mom went on hospice and that my husband and I planned to visit her later in the week. Well, she went from alert and conscious though sleepy on Monday night - to no consciousness on Tuesday afternoon. My brother asked me to come and help him, so I am now here. Many things have been good - it really is a blessing that she is not conscious and is not in pain. She will not be given food or liquids per her wishes - comfort care only. So, it is a matter of time at this point. There have been a lot of things to navigate including a well meaning and helpful friend who has become more than a bit too controlling and overbearing about my mom's care. And I am really tired, but overall grateful - things could be and could have been much worse. Have been able to make a bunch of future plans with my brother - thank fully we are really on the same page about her care and what happens afterward.
