Yesterday the last of what needed to be said and heard was. Today, she spiked a fever and left the hospital against some of the doctors advice but hospice agreed with her oncologist and said it was a good idea for her to be at home since the fever is from the cancer. So I finally got to see her and hug and tell her I love you in person. She ended up letting my sister and I stay to talk for awhile which was a lovely surprise.
She is so much weaker than I had been told - can barely stand for 10 seconds or push her self up to sitting and even talking wears her out and shortens her breath. Maybe we will get lucky and she regains strength out of the hospital but combined with a few other things (like withdrawing & barely eating) I really do think the end is soon. So right now I am grateful that last night and tonight I have gotten what I need to feel at peace whenever she passes. Any extra time we have is now a blessing.
Again, thank you so much for your love, advice and support ❤️

What a wonderful gift of time spent together with your mom and sister. I’m so glad everything worked out so you could say the words you wanted to, to her. I hope this brings you all some peace during this difficult time.
I can imagine the relief you feel now that you’ve had this opportunity. I hope it truly brought you some peace and clarity, as I know you needed that. May you have more opportunities in the days to come and may your mom be comfortable.
What a wonderful gift to be able to see her, talk with her, and give her a hug! I’m glad she was open to a longer visit and you were able to share some special moments that you will cherish forever. I can just feel your relief when reading your post. Peace and love to you & your family.
