Dag, I'm glad you got to see her. I never got to say goodbye to my mother when she passed and I've always regretted it. I did get a chance to say goodbye to my father before he died and have been glad of it, even if he didn't know I was there. It was closure for me, not him.
Hospice is the way to go in my opinion, and what I would choose if I could. I have counselled two people through the final phase and was present at the passing of one good friend and it's the best way...surrounded by friends and family, in a familiar place. I believe the person knows where they are even if it doesn't show.
I opened a new box of warm fuzzies just for you in this time of need...help yourself!
Brian
