Hospice called me today to let me know Mom has stopped eating. It is now only a matter of time. Anywhere from 2 to 10 days, but she is so frail now I'm thinking most likely 2-3 days. If I seem unreachable later this week, you will know why.

They are keeping her on pain med drips to keep her comfortable. I visited her about 2 weeks ago and said my good byes. Mom has been on a slow decline for about 2 years now, including a couple times I thought she was going to die, so I am rather prepared for this emotionally and mentally. While painful and sad, Mom's passing is expected and I don't think I will go off the deep end like I did when Jim died without warning. I will be okay, but will probably be quiet for a little while.

Hugs,
Grubbs
