I had to tell my mother after she fought so hard for over a year and a half, she wasn't ready to give up but she was too weak to keep fighting. I told her hospice was a temp. situation until she got stronger and then we could look at more treatment, it made it easier for all of us. I didn't want my Mom to loose hope and just go home to die, this gave her a reason to wake up each day, smile, laugh, enjoy meals and enjoy family and friends. She was on hospice for two months and towards the end she told me she wasn't getting any better and she wasn't going to make it, broke my heart so much but at least she had the two months with some hope.
