Thank you for reaching out. Yes we have called in hospice and they have been a huge comfort for us all. My MIL has declined more she no longer is able to walk and does t get out of bed she has lost her voice to only a whisper. She's still feisty bless her but she is unsatisfiable at this point. She's not sleeping her anxiety is really bad. I have talked the family into giving her some med that hospice has brought for her for her to get some rest. It helped she went from ringing her bell literally every 10-15 min all day and all night to every 2-3 hours. We are getting to the point a conversation is goin to have to be had about her wishes mainly rather she wants a DNR. Once that conversation is had with her I believe the realization of it all will start other needed conversations. Having you reach out is a special thing for me right now and I truly thank you. Hope you and your family had happy holidays and a new year to come

My heart goes out to you and your family as your mother-in-law is now in hospice. I know it was a really difficult discussion and that there was some resistance to the idea. But this was absolutely the right decision for your mother in law.
She is so fortunate to have you as her voice of reason and compassion. I hope the rest of her family begins to accept, as you have, that their mom is in her final days. Now is the time for them to have those important conversations with mom.
I hope you also know that you’ve been an amazing treasure to your mother-in-law and can look back on your life together with her fondly, knowing you did everything you could to love and support her and to keep her comfortable.
Peace with you and your family.
