I need to change a few things I had shared. Please forgive me for my errors. I can only say it has to be my chemo brain, just not remembering things I used to.
My mom was 74 when she died. My husband reminded me that when she was taken to the ER after she developed a heartblock; she deceided to stop treatments, she had gone threw enough. My mom was actually in Hospice maybe a month or a little less. It just seemed longer. I do know in the start of her hospice there were days she would be agitated. I remember one of those times I came to help calm her. After she had calmed down, she said "I had a good life. I'm also glad I have you as my daughter." She wanted me to tell my other sisters this message too. Most of the time she was sleeping or at peace. I hope I didn't cause you any undo stress. My experience is true, just the time my mom was in hospice I had incorrect. Take care.
