quick update - mom is in end stages of liver failure and is at home for a week now in hospice care. My 2 brothers are living there (one already lived with her, the other just moved here from California). She has a nurse that comes for 2 - four hour shifts and a hospice nurse comes out several times a week. She's got maybe a few days left in her. I visit with her every day, she knows I'm there still, smiles when I greet her, says I love you when I leave and tell her that. Otherwise she's sleeping. She has a DNR order, no longer eats and refuses her meds. She's ready, it just takes time. She does take her pain pill and drinks some sprite. It is painful to watch someone deteriorate like this. After going through a "death" of sorts in January with the BD and divorce, I just felt strong again and like I'll be ok and then this happens. Well, I still feel strong (so far) and I'm feeling blessed that I can spend this time with her and let her know that I love her. It just [censored] to go through that whole grieving process and now doing it all over again. That's life though. I have been praying for God to ease her passing. Thanks ladies for your support smile
