Rob, I'd like to reiterate and re-emphasize what I said earlier about hospice. Many people have the idea that seeking hospice care is "giving up," but in truth, they can really help a lot. BigPoppy mentioned "the care hospice gave US." I'm capitalizing the "US" there because they're not just there to help keep the patient comfortable. They certainly will help with that, but, almost as important, they'll be there for you and your family during this very difficult time. If this option is open to you, I sincerely hope you'll pursue it, not just for your mom, but for you and your daughters.
