[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 413137, member: 393"] Steely, when is it time to move dad to inpatient hospice? The time came that my mother didn't want her family to suffer the "indignity" (she was such a proud woman) of all the various bodily functions that she could no longer control. She went inpatient hospice & was gone within 24 hours. The anticipatory grief, I believe, got my dad thru the deeath of his wife of 55 years. It became a celebration of mom versus the overwhelming grief. I hope this helps somewhat ~ there is no good or right thing to say or offer at these times. I believe Sharon (ldm) stated that this is the cycle of life ~ it's not easy or with-o pain. [/QUOTE]
