[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry. My mom was in hospice for a week inpatient. She was no responsive the whole time. It was agony watching and waiting and seeing this fabulous smart, strong, beautiful spitfire lie silently and wait to die. We ate meals around her bed and got good and drunk, often. We told stories and laughed and sobbed. I brushed her hair and held her hand constantly. I took a picture of our hands together. I've never shown it to anyone in the world. It's just for me. I cherish it. The last night of her life, we wrote her obituary together at her bedside. We read it to her and she died a few hours later. I think she waited until we got it right. It is awful and I'm so sorry. It will end. Sending strength.[/quote]
