So yesterday I got the call to go to the hospice. My mom's health had just nose dived since I had seen her Saturday night. I walked in on a totally different person. I had a split second instinct to turn and run. Instead I walked in, held my mom's hand,stroked her hair and kissed her good bye, I told her she didn't have to fight for us us anymore and that she has taught us well and we'd be okay. I told we didn't want her to hurt any more and she deserved to be pain free from now on. She waited until the hospice worker left us alone and she took her final breath. I haven't posted a lot on here but I have been on this board, reading other posts and it helped me realize that there were others out there who felt the same way I did, angry, helpless, defeated. So I thank you all for baring you deepest and most painful thoughts and for helping others ( and I) get through this.
In honor of my beautifully stubborn mother, no more shall you suffer

I am so sorry...I don't know what else to say except that your post brought tears to my eyes. My thoughts are with you and your family in this very sad and difficult time, at least she is in a better place now and no longer in pain and suffering.
