Wow, that sounds very difficult. My mom went to the lawyer to re-sign her living will, 3 days before being admitted to the hospital. She stated she wanted no artificial nutrition. It is important to tell family your wishes so that they aren't left without direction. It is much easier when the individual makes the decision for herself. Honoring that is much easier, when you know someone's stated wishes.<br />

Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate all the comfort and love sent our way.<br />

Our thought are with you. I apologize I didn't see this earlier. My grandmother is 92 on Hospice care in Florida. We are going to visit next week. She has a feeding tube which has prolonged her life though I don't believe it to be quality.

My condolences on the loss of your mom. Hospice offers a caring and powerful way to honor the process of death. I'm sure your mom was comforted to be surrounded by those that love her and it made her transition to the next level fearless and peaceful.<br />

Thank you all again for the many, many emails of support during my mom's illness and death.<br />
<br />
I'm comforted and grateful that we had four generations together for her passing, in the comfort of home. We enjoyed meals together in the dining room while she could hear us chatting and visiting, laughing and retelling stories of special times together. It was beautiful and peaceful.<br />
<br />
Thank you again for your kindness.<br />

I'm so sorry, Pat!! That must have been such a blessing for her, to be with her family and dog at home.<br />
I totally agree about not being in the hospital to die. I will remind your family if I happen to be around for such an occasion!<br />
Hugs, Francie
