About 2 weeks ago we had to make the tough decision to put my mom in a hospice house. I originally was having hospice care at our home. She was just in too damn much pain to continue the home care. She had stopped eating and drinking and was on morphine every 4 hours or so. She went to a hospice facility where she was kept heavily sedated for 5 days before passing. We spent 5 or 6 hours a day with her. She would open her eyes once or twice but not see anything. Not sure if she could hear or not. By the 3rd day in we were praying she would pass peacefully and pain free. It's very hard to watch but I'm glad she's at peace now.
