Hospice

Today while I was over helping Mom with mail and thank you notes, she had a call from hospice and made an appointment. For herself. She thinks it might be time to switch from home health to hospice.

I know hospice will take good care of Mom. I know it is wise to not wait until she is nearly incapacitated, like we did with Dad. I know it makes sense within the framework of time the oncologist gave.

It just feels too soon.

  1. She's such a sensible, matter-of-fact kind of lady, isn't she? I love her!! My mother is a lot like her.

  2. No, no, no, my mind says, it is not necessary, it is too soon. Yet, Mom is the one who has been calling the shots 100% so I guess I need to listen. She is going to keep her word and go to be with him soon...

  3. It does seem much too soon and I am so sorry for that! I am sure her resolve to not be separated from her love for too long may have something to do with it! Praying for you all! XOXO
