My condolences to those who truly loved her. I agree with Rummy Chick. My mother died 11 months ago today and it was at home. Hospice provided all meds and told us what to do.
When the head nurse came I complained that my mom was still in so much pain and could we please give her the morphine sooner then scheduled. Her reply was Go Right Ahead. If she was in the hospice center they would do it. I came upstairs and told my sister, who had been logging the meds and she was afraid we might kill her accidently. I explained what the hospice nurse told me and reminded sis that mom was dying and we promised we would keep her as comfortable as possible. After that we kept her well medicated so she didnt feel any pain. We kept our promise. My sister had peace of mind. My mom died a week later. But my point is Hospice said give her what you feel she needs. I was the one to make the choice and I made it. I have no regrets.The whole concept of hospice is to die at home in comfort and peace with your loved ones around you.
BTW,Mom would’ve voted McCain and she would have loved Sarah.

Blessings. My mom died in 2002 and I still miss her so much, especially now near Thanksgiving time which was also her birthday. I think this is why some of the comments here are making my heart break so much.
