[QUOTE="Suz, post: 231222, member: 29"] Linda, my Mom was sick for many years off and on. At the last episode I didn't know what "keep her comfortable" meant. I was so naive I thought, "Great!" I was going to visit her in a few days and I appreciated their care. I learned the hard way that, in her case, it meant that she was dying and it was close...in her case less than 48 hours. I'm sorry for being so blunt. I wish they had been more specific/honest and I made a vow then and there that if someone I know ever hears that phrase I'll make sure they know what I learned the hard way. If I'd understood the truth behind the phrase I would have moved mountains in order to have been there sooner so I could have said goodbye and told her I loved her one more time. :tears: Hugs for this terrible pain you are living, Suz [/QUOTE]
