[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You know ur child best,[/b] but i think 10yr old is mature enough to understand the circle of life. [b] This would be a good opportunity to show him compassion and humanity in real life terms[/b]. It is stressful- the last thing on your mind should be logistics for child care. Plus, the hospice nurses are simply wonderful.[/quote] I agree with this. My sister died in her daughter's home and the grandchildren (10 and 4) were present during her care. The 10 year old was present, because she wanted to be, when her grandmother died. OP, if it is logistically easier for you manage her care in your home, then do so. Most likely, your son will be in school much of the time, and you can coordinate with friends and family to provide him with some fun activities and outlets when he needs a break. I'm sorry about your mother, OP. [/quote]
