I doubt that mom will be with us much longer.
Mom can hardly talk. We are giving her morphine every 2 hours.
This is all happening so fast.
I had to put mom at Hospice for 5 days last week because dad got sick and was in the hospital (he's ok. the stress of mom dying was making everything worse for him) and I just couldn't take care of her alone. My brother came to town for 3 days to help but he had to get back to work.
After 5 days at Hospice you can tell she was going downhill. They gave the option to stay but I had promised mom that she could go home and had promised she could die at home. The social worker said bringing her home could cause her to die sooner because she would feel more comfortable at home or something like that.
But I didn't expect it so soon. We were told on March 13th that she had lung cancer and a few months to live. It has been just over a month and the news is still trying to sink in and she is almost gone.
I just can't get my head around all of this. It is happening way to fast. I am numb.
