Mom drinking some juice at the beginning of last week - 10-6-09

I just want to let you know that Hospice is telling us that mom is showing signs that she is closer than ever and will probably pass away this week. I know this is terrible news but mom has really declined and is on liquid morphine and she can no longer communicate with us. She can't swallow anymore and her poor body is becoming more and more rigid - more brittle. It hurts her every time we try to reposition her. She hasn't eaten in 10+ days and hasn't taken any water/fluids in 5+ days. She needs to be released from her earthly body and taken home where she can see her mother, father, and brother. It's time we let her go - for her. We will miss her - gone from our sight but not from our hearts.
