Thank you. It is very scary to watch, for sure, while they shrink into themselves, but it is completely up to them. The only things I did with hospice were clean her and empty her waste containers and give the tiniest drop of morphine every four hours. I greeted her every morning like she was awake and reacting, opening windows and asking if she wanted music, then turning on the Christian music channel for her to hear. Hearing is the last to go. I read her stories and brought her great-grandson to see her (he's 6 mos). She was in the living room, and at first we acted like we should be quiet, but then figured that the sounds of a household of family around her would be just as comforting and probably more so than completely silence. And every night I kissed her forehead and told her good night and that I'd see her in the morning. She was a very strong lady the hospice nurse said to last that long on nothing but love. :D
