I'm worried about my mother and stressed about the timing. Yet I almost feel like not going because when I rang her to say that I would be there today she thought I was my brother, so if I weren't to show up it'd be on him ... except that I don't know how much longer she'll be with us and I want my boys to see her again. The statistics surrounding longevity in hospice suggest less than 20 days. I don't know that she'll make it to Thanksgiving, which is likely the next opportunity my boys will have to see her given their academic and extracurricular demands.
Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
