WOW I am truely sorry CB. I have been in the same spot as only it was my gramps. He died just a year ago. He died from many things cancer, anurisms, basically anything you think of he had. We were going to put him in Hospice but didn't have the money to spend so he died in a hospital. Even if someone told him what was wrong with him he said, No I am healthy as a horse don't tell me how I am I know how I am doing. He died misreable which is ashame. Although we didn't tell my grams what was going on because we were afraid she might have a heart attack or go off the deep end. All we told her was he wasn't doing well and probably not going to get better. Of course she would have some type of problem since she is 98 years old right now and still goin strong ( nock on wood). I know it's hard knowing someone is going to die and you can't tell them or do anything about it. I wish your family the best of luck from the heart. As long as you guys stay together you guys can be there for one another. This extremely important because my family broke up after this now no one talks to each other or sees each other. It's really ashame but I can't do anything about it. Tell your mom I hope she gets well.
