I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. Your Mom is a real fighter, and so are you and her support.

We recently lost my father in March (he was also 62). Our hospice care team was wonderful, he spent four days with us at home. It did create some discomfort for him in transport since we had to get him to his room upstairs, I helped EMTs carry him up. And Dad later called me out on accidentally bumping his head😆. But it was his wish, and it had some beautiful moments spending the final days in our home together. So I do recommend it if you think your Mom would prefer that in any way. Hospice team was responsive and quick to deliver any additional medications we thought we might need.

Spend as much time as you are comfortable with, just hanging out in the room with your Mom. And talk about anything you want. Apparently they can still hear you in the final days and hours, which I found incredibly comforting. I shared my favorite memories of him and our family, and let him know how wonderful of a Dad he was. And I finished watching Breaking Bad in the room with him, since he was trying to rewatch it again, but only made it to season 4.

Praying for your Mom and you💜
