[quote=Anonymous]First, I'm so sorry about your mom. My mom recently passed from cancer. I'm deeply depressed, but the one thing that brings me comfort is knowing I was able to be with her. She spent several weeks in hospice care at home. I lived close by so I spent every day with her. My dad was relieved to have the help as he's elderly and my mom repeatedly told me my presence was comforting. It was hard on DH and our kids and stressful and exhausting for me, but I was grateful to have the opportunity. If at all possible, go be with your mom. You will never regret the decision. But if you really can't do it financially, visit as much as you can, and make sure to call every single day. You can FaceTime. My mom enjoyed her calls and visitors until the last 24 hrs. I hope your mom is comfortable and she is able to go in peace. [/quote]
