You are a caregiver - caregivers are my heroes. I know from personal experience that being a caregiver is way harder then being the patient Hugs and healing vibes to both of you

I am so sorry to see that your mother is in hospice care, just be there for her, keep as pain free as possible, let her know you love her and it is ok for to let go. That is what we did for both of my parents in the last few months of their lives.

It is so very hard, Remember we are all here to help and support you.

sending lots of virtual hugs your way.

Hi Jessst13, Thank you so much for awarding me best answer! I was hoping that I wasn’t too pushy! Hugs! I took care of my mother when she was dying of breast cancer so I know how hard what you are doing is and how much it hurts to see someone we love so ill. But I also wanted to tell you at one point her HMO said that there was nothing more that we could do for her, and that she should enjoy the last few months of her life...well, we immediately got a 2nd opinion at UCLA ( big cancer center ) and the oncologist there said no the cancer was still treatable and he gave her about 4 more years of a very happy life. She felt good and even went on a long trip to the Galapagos Islands during that time with her best friend! So I really do mean that when there is life there is hope, of course cancer is a terrible foe and wins all the time...so you never know, and sometimes there really is nothing that can be done. But sometimes there is! And my mom really enjoyed the last few years of her life and I am so happy that was given to her! And also that I had the time with her as well! I treasure all those memories and I miss her so much! You sound like an incredible and caring daughter and I wish both of you all my best. HUGS!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO Good luck and God bless!!!!

Hugs, sweetie! It sounds like you and your mom are going through the hardest journey life offers. You sound very mature and I am so gkad to read that you have strong faith. I pray your mom does too. My faith is what gets me through each day AND gives such solace that when I leave here, I am bound for a much better place! Praying for you both!
