[quote=Anonymous]Oh wow OP I am so sorry. So the diagnosis is definitely terminal, yet she is determined to do treatment? That is so tough but all you can do is respect her wishes. Hospice is easier in that they manage the pain with meds and keep the person comfortable and cater to them in our experience, but yes, it must be her choice. Do you have a therapist? It could help you give herself permission to completely accept her decision and let go of guilt that you cannot give her the level of support she wants. Is your mom saying hateful things to you? Those jabs can make it so much worse. This may be too deep and too off the point, but if you could wave the magic wand what would you want our culture and country to do? Hospice is truly an amazing program from the experience of so many of us, but she has to want that. What do you wish she had that isn't in place? [/quote]
