In her last month, when I could no longer give her the care she needed and she was moved to hospice, she gradually lost her mental capacity to the point where she began hallucinating, no longer knew my name or her own, lost the ability to move her right arm and her legs, and finally her ability to speak altogether.

Yeah, same thing with Mom. She was generally lucid but sleepy in the last two weeks of her life. I was late seeing her on the last Saturday of her life, my Blazer's electrical system went out as I turned the key and I have to fix the battery cables and clean the terminals. I told her why, I had to fix my truck and she asked "how much did it cost?" I told her "nothing, fixed it myself." She was relieved. Still with the brain mets, she something asked the same question twice hours later and I just played along. She passed three weeks ago tonight, the last day, she was in a coma. I'm glad I said my goodbyes, I'm sure she heard me and I left to feed the cats and a few hours later, she passed away. B-(
