See how much morphine they are administering.

The hospice killed my dad with morphine. They kept upping the dose till it killed him.

It was the right thing to do but also cowardly because it was done stealthily.

Same with my mother, she had COPD with Edema, and instead of giving her a diuretic like Lasix and sending her home, they put her in their Hospice section and started pumping her with massive amounts of morphine, even though she was in zero discomfort. She didn't last two days after that.

Make sure you tell her that you love her before she dies, that's something we rarely do while we're alive, that's something we think is self evident, so we rarely say it. This isn't just important for her, it's also important for you, because you won't be able to do it afterward
