[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I don't know about the German system but the US has come a long way in palliative care. The conventional wisdom was that doctors would held back on narcotics b/c they were afraid that their patients would become addicted, which didn't make much sense b/c people were close to death. So basically if she's very and is in pain, she should be given as much painkiller as needed so she doesn't have to live what's left of her life in pain. In terms of a visit, I really get the read on it from your DH. Sometimes when people are sick, a visit is the last thing they want b/c they are in so much pain, it stresses them out vs. cheers them up. So your DH will probably give you the scoop as to outlook. I would send her flowers, cards, maybe folded origami animals enclosed. Digital picture frame with the kids pictures in it.[/quote]
