Re: Hospice care

First off let me say that I am so sorry this is happening to you and I can only image how difficult it must be.

That being said, it sounds as if your mom has been quite the fighter and she's given it her all. Unfortunately, the cancer has progrossed and from what you have shared it sounds as if your mom is pretty much non-responsive and has reached the end of her struggle. That must be so hard to accept but I feel confident in saying that I think if your mom could make the decision she would ask you to let her go and to be at peace.

Sending you and your family prayers for God's guidance and wisdom.

Love and hugs...

Mary Jo
