My Mother had to learn many things after my Father died. We did the hospice thing and the company we contracted did an excellent job. It was not fun and cost me much but I do not regret it and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Think you are doing the right thing.

I know enough Spanish to order chicken, wine and find the bathroom so feel like I'm pretty fluent.

Hopefully you are not asking them to send you your chicken and wine to you while you are in the bathroom. They probably come away thinking "que locos las americanas" (crazy friend of Bethie's)

Hi Jill,

First time I've posted to you, although you have REALLY stepped up for me on several occassions. Hope all is well. MG sounds like a great addition to your life. I wish you continued happiness. Thanks for a woman's point of view on my thread. I like the way you think!

Oh don't mind Beth. Sometimes she just can't tell the difference lol. She has hit on the wrong people in the past, if that gives you a clue.

Jill-
I know that you've checked in on me in the past (I got a request thru that old myspace page, but stopped using it).

I was with my mother through her cancer and decline. We also used hospice, but it was free (they coordinated with her insurance, and didn't charge the co-pays). Not sure how it works in FL. They were outstanding.
One of the things that I respected mom for, was she asked all her friends and family to visit her while she was alive--come and spend a couple of days, talk about old times, laugh, etc.
She said, what use is it to come after I am gone? She didn't want a service at all, shopped around for the lowest prices on everything (I think she even found some weird coupon for the cremation!).
I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Your travel plans sound fantastic! If you and MG ever make it to the NYC/Boston area, please let me know! Another chapter begins....
