My Grandpa (who hated dodge vehicles) passed away in January, he was put on at home hospice the day before Christmas. The man who came to collect his body after he passed was driving a converted dodge minivan, his stretcher which he tested daily would not work to get him into the vehicle, he tried everything. Eventually my dad had to help him manually lift the stretcher into the minivan, so we always say it was last defiance against Dodge (The stretcher worked perfectly fine afterwards)

My best friend was dying from cancer and it was brutal. This was during the height of COVID and they wouldn't allow his 10 year old daughter into the hospital to see him. With much begging and pleading the nurses allowed her to see her daddy. He died shortly after she left. I have seen people wait to see their loved ones before dying on several occasions. It's real.

Kind of a long story, I’ll try to keep it short! My mom had suffered from cancer most of her life. By the end of her life I was pregnant with my fifth child (her fifth grandchild), and she didn’t think she’d see any of her grandkids =) My son was born two weeks earlier than predicted (coincidence?). The day after I delivered, I briefly talked to my mom (it’d be the last time I talk to her). She was in the hospital (on hospice) and a doctor had come in to see her. My son was born with jaundice, so I didn’t get to see my mom until four days after my son was born. By then, my mom was already on morphine and unconscious. My husband and I got to the hospital early in the morning, and we just hang out in her room with my family. At one point my newborn son started to cry! So I got up as quickly as I could and was about to leave the room to not disturb anyone. My mom sat up and asked to see him!!! We immediately handed him to her. She blessed him hugged him and kissed him, for about a minute. Then she went back to being unconscious! This happened another time the next day, we were all in shock and disbelief! She would actually sit up and look for him, rather quickly, but that’s the only time she would “wake up.” My mom passed away a week after my son was born, almost to the minute! During that week, everyone that had known my mom came to say goodbye, and not once did she “wake up” for them. A total blessing to witness this! When my son was about 1.5 and we’d show him pictures of my mom, he would tell his siblings that she was HIS nana, and he loves her very much!

It was 1954. My uncle was in the Navy on a vessel out at sea. He was sleeping in his rack in the middle of the night when he heard someone call his name, telling him to wake up and felt a tug on the bed covers. My uncle recognized his grandfather's voice as the caller that was trying to wake him. My uncle did wake as he remembered seeing the red light in the corridor that was always lite. Upon seeing or hearing nothing else, my uncle went back to sleep. The next morning my uncle received notification that his grandfather had died the previous night around the time he had heard his voice calling him.

I have a sorta similar story. When I was a CNA at a nursing home I took care of the really bad patients (health wise). I had a female patient that was a dementia patient. She was dying. She hadn't spoken for a while. The doctor kept telling the family she's going to die anytime, but she kept hanging on. She stayed in that condition for like a week. Her husband was on the floor up and was fairly sick himself. I'm not sure why they couldn't bring them together, but we finally got the husband to call his wife's room and we put the phone to her ear. He told her it was okay to go, I'll be right behind you. Literally seconds after we hung the phone up she took her last breath.

They truly do make their decisions with their death. My mom was in her final hours, I had spent the night in the nursing home with her. I have fibromyalgia and psoriatic arthritis so by morning I was very painful. I needed a hot shower to relax my body but I was afraid to leave. Our wonderful hospice nurse told me to tell her my intentions to leave and then come back. The nurse let me know that my mom would chose what she wants.So I went up to my mom, let her know that I love her and would be back in half an hour I just needed a hot shower. As I was gathering my things to leave, the nurse said "look I think she is going" I turned around , my mom was reaching for something or someone. I grabbed her other hand touched her face and told her goodbye. Like that she was gone. She wanted to make sure I was there as she did not want to die alone. That was such a surreal experience and despite our differences over the years I was glad I could do that for her.

I do think some people try to wait. When my mother was dying my older brother was the only one of us 6 that wasn't there. He lived in CA and couldn't come. I told my mom in her ear that Jim wouldn't be able to be there with her. The rest of us kind of went right outside the door to talk and she died while we were out there. So not only was she waiting for Jim she didn't want anyone to see her die.

My dad loved my mother more than space an time an her the same an I knew he was just waiting for her that last time just so it was just them 2 together in the bedroom alone in their own space 😌 my daddy passed away in April 2016 an he was put on hospice at the hospital I worked at but we never truly got the whole story of what was going on but were able to bring him home but the day before he passed was the first time the RN came an that's when I knew something more was happening an it never hit he was passing, even the RN kept asking us " are u guys sure he's sick ?" My dad looked like he was just resting , Well the whole process took 3 days but when my dad passed we all were together, My daughter mother, older brother, sis in law nephew's an my favorite cousin who I call my sister cousin an she had to watch my uncle her father pass the same a year before but it took him 9 months ( ☺️ luv u uncle Morris ) true LOVE is truly magical an my parents taught me that 🥰 we cremated my daddy an turned him into a tree using the Living urn an now it's huge but it changes in all seasons which is beautiful because we're in Southern California an my daddy was a preacher kid who moved a lot an he always loved when the leaves turned an now my daddy turns with the leaves he loved to see 🤗

Wonderful story! I have some abilities. I can see spirits and other things. Under meditation, I can access the so-called Akashic records of people which basically store any information about the journey of a soul, incarnation after incarnation. To make the story short, I went to the funeral of my ex girlfriend's father. I saw his spirit next to her. He told me that he would reincarnate in her future son. At the time, she was desperate to have a baby but even IVF was not working and she was in her early 40s already. Very little chances of success, also because her husband is 20+ years older... Within a couple of days from the funeral, I had a dream with me walking home and seeing her and her husband walking towards me, holding hands with a little child... made of golden light. Note that I very rarely remember my dreams. I did not say anything to my ex, she would not have believed me anyway, since she did not believe in spirits or afterlife. Many months later, she knocked at my door and told me that she was pregnant. I knew it would happen. I told her that her father would have liked the baby to have his name, she told me that they had already decided to give his name (Francis) as second name. I heard "fair enough" in my head. He was happy. He is back to keep on enjoying his daughter's company from a different perspective :) These cases are not so rare.

@@joannaowen6653 Well, we always choose the kind of life we will live. We are shown in advance some of the major events in our future life, before each incarnation. We still have free will within each life, but we need to become conscious of the process and, to same extent, we have the power to change the contract on the fly at each moment. That's one of the lessons for people living on this planet... I advice reading life-changing books like "Miracles happen" by Brian Weiss and "Journey of souls" by Michael Newton.

Lengthy explanation here. This whole story started n December 2014 around w/my 84yro Dad & my 18yro Daughter, w/whom my Dad was VERY close to & helped me raise. His life revolved around her!! My Daughter was due to get married on December 20th 2014, Dad had gotten sick that week prior. But had refused to go to the Dr., for fear of missing her wedding. Well, he’d gotten to the point where we had to take him to the ER, on the 18th of December, 2 days b4 his Granddaughter’s wedding. & sure enough, the Flu, & he was admitted. He progressively got worse. He missed her wedding, we did Christmas & New Year @ the Hospital. My Daughter turned 19yro on January 4, 2015, & we celebrated her Birthday there w/him as well. I can’t remember the date he was sent home on Hospice? But, I’d brought Dad to my house. He’d went from the Flu to Pneumonia. He’d really given up on living & was just ready to go? His only Grandchild had done gotten married, & he was the last of his 12 siblings. We’re still on the rural Northeast Arkansas farm where he was raised since 1937. So, all his sittings were of the farm nature, his consciousness of us was very minimal @ best? & he’d cn his Dad as well even. On January 20th 2015, my Daughter came n crying, scared, & excited all @ one time. She had 3 positive pregnancy tests n her hand. I was excited, & re-assured her everything would b great. I told ‘er, that she needed to go tell her “PawPaw”, that he may not know, but @ least she’d told him of it. She walked n his bedroom, & said, “Hey PawPaw.” His eyes opened wide & he said, “Well hey Sugar!” It’d bn over 1-1/2mths since I’d heard him speak so clearly, & so bright! She said, “PawPaw, I’m gonna have a baby. I’m married now, so it’s alright.” He reach through the bed bars & started rubbing her belly. Then he said, “Awww Sugar, I was hoping u’d wait ‘til u were 25yro. But your 19yro now, & that’ll b ok.” We were all amazed @ him being to himself!! He’d told of his plans that he’d of liked for her & knew her age from the recent Birthday. She had a Kleenex n her had from wiping her tears, & was fixin to wipe again w/it. Then he said, “O, I wanna see!” My Daughter handed him the Kleenex she had. Dad reached out for it, & began trying to open it like a book w/his long fingers & huge hands. Just like that he was off to his world. We were so relieved that he came to for those great few minutes. My Daughter came back by on January 23rd 2015 to visit a bit. Dad passed that Day. My Daughter gave birth to a 3wk premature Son, on September 20th 2015!! Bein a little “Wimpy White Boy” his lungs were sticky, & they rushed him out. It was a couple hrs b4 we got the all clear. The relief, of the Grandson, the repression of Dad’s passing, & the full extent of Dad knowing his Granddaughter was goin to have this wonderful Grandson, came crashing on me all @ once. The total of pregnancy math days were w/n a few days to 1wk of being pregnant. Just enough time to tell him that he was going to b a Great-Grandfather, & for him to b himself for those precious few minutes to actually know & understand it. I still believe that Dad was there helping my Grandson!! Sorry for the lengthy explanation? & I’d like to thank you & all Hospice nurses. I wish I’d of had your information 8yrs ago? Thx, again! Your explanations are very informative! I’m currently caregiving for my Mother who has severe Dementia.

There was so much in your story that resonated with me. So I'm about to give you my longer than yours account of my life, lol. I'm a retired palliative nurse and PSW teacher. In Canada 🇨🇦, we have people who look after our sick and elderly family members. Their schooling is only 6 months long, but they learn a lot in that time. Basically, they were taught the 1st semester of a nursing program. Bathing, feeding and medication assistance. These are the frontline workers in home care and long-term facilities, although more and more are being hired by hospitals to help ease the nurse's job. I looked after my mom when she was sent home from the hospital to die. I moved in with my father 6 mnths after mom's death to take care of him. His dementia was starting to become a daily problem in some areas. Because I taught PSW, I was able to hire the best PSWs to look after Dad while I was at work. Almost 2 years later, and after the loss of Mom, my sister(and only sibling)passed, as did a good friend and Mentor and one beautiful friend of my son's that I called son #2. And then I had to deal with losing someone else who I loved beyond all measure. My Dad. I had so much grief in me from prior losses that I could barely handle it when he left me. I miss him so much but I know that I could meet up with him and the rest of the family any day now. I'm almost 70 yrs old and have a couple of conditions that could be fatal at any time. I had 3 more deaths, 2 of which occurred not too much past Dad's. The 3rd one was the love of my heart ❤️ 💙 and lifetime. We only met the year before my Dad's passing and so we had only been together for 10 years when he left me too. I had a nervous breakdown. Since I hadn't properly grieved for the deaths before Dad, his and my love's deaths knocked me flat. Please take care of yourself. Looking after very sick and dying family members is very hard on the primary caregiver, which sounds like you are. Both the physical and psychological realms of a human being can be worn down when taking care of family. I wish you and your family a wonderful New Year ✨️. Support each other through the rough patches and rejoice in each others accomplishments.

@Carlton Mullins there’s a book called The 36 Hour Day that you might find helpful. It’s basically a reference book for people who are caretakers of family members with dementia. My dad had Lewy-Body dementia and the book was/is a practical guide with a great index and talks about what to expect and what to do, for example, if you get sick and need help, and all kinds of other sage wisdom. It was written by people who have gone through it. It’s incredibly helpful. You don’t have to read it front to back; it’s kind of like a mini encyclopedia on dementia for caregivers.

My great grandmother, Little Nana, 91 yrs, chose her time. I always thought that she was pretty well at the time, she drank a glass of Stout every day, a little sight impaired but not dying. She didn't get out of bed that day, for the first ever time, she always got up even if it was only to her armchair. She called her son in to sit beside her and hold her hand and she just let go. It was to the minute of the anniversary of her husband's passing, 11 yrs before. As a 12 yr old I was mightily impressed that she did that, chose her time to go. Mum did say later that she had been unwell and it was more likely that she had hung on until that time, but I still prefer my original thoughts. Life and Death has always fascinated me, in a good way, since then. Julie's videos are so interesting, thank you.

I have a few stories of things that have happened like this in my family. The one that sticks out most for me is when my gram was on hospice. At the end, on Nov, 12th, my mom sat up all night and held my grams hand and stroked her face. My sister and I and some very close friends had come in that night and all told her it was okay to go, that we loved her and didn't want her to struggle any longer. Early in the morning on Nov 13, after my mom had gone almost 24 hours of sitting by grams side and not having had anything substantial to eat, my dad went in and told my mom that coffee and toast were made and insisted she come out to the kitchen for coffee. My mom hesitated, not wanting to leave my grams sight but dad was insistent. Mom reluctantly agreed and went out to the kitchen for coffee, and in the middle of her coffee, she jumped up and ran to the bedroom to my grams side. Gram had passed away within the five minutes mom was in the kitchen. Nov 13, the day my Gram passed was my mom's birthday. Gram did not want to take that time from my mom on her birthday away from my dad.

My mom is end of life from metastatic breast cancer that is throughout her body now. It’s been so hard cause she lives in Illinois and I live in Wisconsin and the snow is really making it hard to see her. She’s not in pain just really tired and out of breath. She thinks she will need oxygen full time soon, ordered a cane and a life alert. We are all praying she makes it till spring so I can be with her.

My grandmother did the same thing. I had her on hospice and she waited for her family to come to town before she passed. She also waited for me to finally leave to go home and she passed 10mins later. The experience I had with her is why I am a hospice nurse today. I truly love what I do and love following you!

During my job as a palliative nurse, I had one lovely lady that I cared for, for 5 and half months. I was relief for the family at night so they could sleep and recharge themselves to provide care for her in her daily life. Christmas was a week away and her daughter, who lived in Alberta Canada 2000+ miles away, was set to fly home in 3 days. That night when I got to her house, I knew right away that her death was going to be hours now, and not days. Her breathing was slow but she wasn't totally unconscious. After my assessment I informed the daughter that it was likely her mom was going to pass that night at some point and she should call her brother and tell him to come and say his goodbyes. Throughout the night, her breathing became slower and slower and we had started the chest observation to see if she would draw another one. But, 7 am came and my shift was done and my patient was still alive. As I was leaving, I was berated by the son because I "had said that she would die that night", but she hadn't. Boy, he was mad. I thought for a few minutes and then told them to call their sibling out west and have her say goodbye. He berated me again because he felt she was unconscious and wouldn't hear her daughter anyways. I told him to just hold the phone to her ear and let his sister talk to her. I left at that point and had just gotten into bed when my phone went off. Turned out she passed peacefully away 15 minutes after hearing from her daughter. There are tasks in their lives that need to be fulfilled before they can go. And hearing from the absent child and being given permission to go is exactly what this family needed. I found it to be a common occurrence in families that are close. What a blessed job palliative work is and I miss doing it very much.

I worked as a secretary in a church for about 20 years. The pastor there would volunteer as a hospital chaplain sometimes. One time he was working with a man who had been working under a car, and the mechanics that held the car in place broke, the car came down and crushed this poor young guy. Stan went to visit the wife while she was visiting her unresponsive husband on life support throughout the week. The doctors came in and told the wife that she'd have to give them permission to take her husband off support. After counseling for a day and constant tears, she sat with her husband and tearfully said to the unresponsive man that she loved him, and she just can't make that decision. Right after she had said that, he died.

Well, it wasn't like your story, but we have a weird one in mine. My Grandad passed away in the hospital in Omaha, and the family clock, the one his grandfather had brought over from Germany when they immigrated, stopped at that moment in Los Angels. My aunt took it to clock maker after clock maker over 10 years to try to get it running, and failed. in frustration, she finally sent it to my dad, who took it to the first clock maker he knew, and had it running within a week. Then my dad passed away, and the clock stopped again. When it finally arrived at my brother Mike's, it started running again. Apparently it has to be in the hands of the first born son or it won't run, and it has a habit of stopping just about to the minute of it's new owner dying. It's over 140 years old now.

I just wanted to say that we all appreciate your generosity in taking time to reassure us about the dying process, and educating us so the transition won't be so mysterious when we inevitably encounter it in a loved one's passing or our own. You are truly doing a service in the world, both by your work with the dying, and your videos talking about the process. It's great to know that someone in your profession truly cares about her patients, and hasn't hardened her heart after seeing so many people suffering in their last days. By the way, I'm in Erie, PA. and I just learned from your lastest video that you came from here! I really appreciate you and wish you the best Christmas this year!

My great grandmother was blind and bedridden. She waited to meet me. I was 3 days old (1956) when I was brought to meet her. She died shortly after. She was an avid crocheter making tablecloths and bedspreads from thread. I too am an avid crocheter, she probably handed off her hobby on the way out 🧶🪡🤗👍

It's so true that sometimes they will wait for us to say our goodbyes before they let go. In 2017 my Dad was in hospice and most of us were there to say goodbye. He was awake and aware when we told him we love him and then he just went into a comatose state and was hanging on. My sister whispered in his ear that her son was on his way to see him. It was a long drive about an hour. Finally he got there and tearfully said I love you Grandpa, and within minutes Dad passed away. He really did wait . Wow we were amazed!!!

I worked in the local ob department for years. I had this family that I took care of the daughter through the first delivery. The grandparent 's were sipping champagne in the waiting room on my first new year's I worked. Then her mother came back for chemo treatments second course and I took care of her through many of these. Her daughter moved to Ohio and still came back to us for 3 more babies.when the 4th gc was born her mother was giving her a hard time about the baby's name. The daughter turn to me and said " this is not my mother" within a week she was back( the mother) and the daughter turned and asked me" should I call my brother's home". I told her yes. She died the next day. This was all before any mention of hospice but I will always remember this family any my journey though years of helping people with loss from stillborn, newborn., to parents.And I will never forget any of them. I learned a lot through the years and you have verified and taught me along the way. I will recommend your videos to anyone going through loss. Thank you

That's what happened to my mother. She was holding on. We all said our goodbyes to her, that we would be ok. She kept holding on then the hospice nurse asked us if there was anyone she maybe waiting on. My aunt my mom sister told her they have a brother in Ohio. We called him so he could talk to her. We told him to couldn't respond, but that she could hear. He talked to her, told her he loved her and it's ok to go with my dad, my sister, and my grandpa and grandma, 20 minutes later she passed. That's been 13 yrs ago. Oh how I miss my mom.

Our darling was a little over 1 week old and my Dad was admitted to hospital for bowel cancer. The lady in the next room was waiting for her grandchild to be born, however there was more than 1 month to wait. While with my dad 2 nurses came in and pulled me out of the room and told me how distressed / sick this poor lady was and could they borrow our daughter and tell her a sweet lie. Of course I said yes and her granddaughter and her husband walked in holding my baby girl and pretended she was there’s. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house and she passed very soon after. Every time I visited my dad I would go around with the nurses my baby and allow patients to hold her. The joy on their faces and faces of the family’s was a priceless gift.

My mom is currently on hospice. She’s 88 and had a pelvis fracture last summer and been in declining health since. Still, though, she keeps talking about getting better and cures. It’s just the saddest thing I’ve ever experienced. She’s always been so full of life and still wants to be. The end of life is something she doesn’t entertain.

While keeping vigil at our moms hospice bedside, it was my turn to go home and get some sleep. My sister promised me that she’d call soon for her turn to rest. I was in a deep sleep when I suddenly woke up, sat straight up and just knew it was time to go back to the hospice center. I woke up my other sister that was staying with me. She was having pain so she didn’t want to go at that moment. She suggested we wait for our sisters phone call. I went back to bed and fell asleep. The phone woke me up a short time later. Our mom had just passed. I believe that mom knew I really wanted to be with her during her transition so her spirit passed through me, when I spontaneously woke up the first time, to say goodbye.

,my grandmother was on hospice. She couldn't eat, drink or talk. She had a stroke. I was working ,& had just started this new job. My grandmother raised me the 1st 3 years of my life. I knew I had to go see her before she passed. I prayed that she would still be alive when I got there. I live 4 hours away, and I had to say goodbye. She was alive.when I arrived. I told her I loved her. I told her it was o.k to go. Then I told her goodbye. I then drove to my mother's house to spend the night. When I. got there, I learned she had passed away. In short, she waited until I came to say goodbye.

Yessss I most definitely have a story to share ! My grandma had a severe heart attack and my parents were away at the time on vacation. This was before cell phones and it took time to get the news of her passing to my parents . They flew home and were able to be with her . My grandma had 9 children .. we are located all over but family by family got in to see gram . Well day after day she lingered and her doctor asked the family as he was in disbelief that she just would not pass . … was there any one in the family that she would be waiting for ? And yessss my older cousin was away w the army and he flew home and finally got to say his goodbyes . She passed later that evening. I def believe folks can wait til all loved one come in to say goodbye !!

My brother died of aids. He passed away on mother's day ,may 11th,1986. When we got to the hospital to see him we walked in his room but the nurse said come back in 5 minutes, he was getting some type of treatment. We , myself, mom, and dad returned in 5 mins. and i walked in the room first and he had passed after we left for the 5 mins. I guess he waited, kind of like he wanted to say happy mother's day to my mom and myself. But he wouldnt have been able to talk because he was having organ failure and was heavily sedated...just strange he waited till we were there and passed some time in the next 5 minutes before we got back.

I was having trouble conceiving my 2nd child and my gynecologist wanted me to have a procedure that required me to go on the operating table. The procedure was scheduled. My grandmother didn't want me to have the procedure and kept asking me if I had conceived and each time I would have to say no. She had a stroke and was in the hospital. I went to see her and she was able to talk. She asked once again if I had conceived and I said no, I had my period. She passed, my period stopped and the procedure was canceled. Nine months later I gave birth to my 2nd daughter. She was born on my grandmother's birthday. The universe works in strange ways. ❤🙏

Yes- I was with my Aunt Marge while she slipped into unconsciousness at the Hospice in Milwaukee. I sat with her, and sat with her- finally, I got an idea. I went and sat on the bed next to her, held her hand, and leaned over and said to her," Marge, it's your niece, Ellen. I'm here with you and I love you, but you can go home now. You can go be with Ma and Pa, and your brother John. It's ok to go now". And I'm not kidding- she died right then and there. Wow! All she needed was a nudge. I was so happy for her. I believe she went home to her family!!

The experience I'm going to share is from a different angle. I was traveling and didn't have a cell phone. One day I suddenly "heard" Stevie Wonder's song "I Just Called to Say I Love you" playing over and over in my head and had a strong urge to call home. When I did, my dad said "Uncle ____ just passed away and I didn't know how to reach you. I was just praying for help reaching you about 30 minutes ago". I told him about the song suddenly repeating in my mind with the urge to call home. That was a lovely and comforting answer to prayer for a grieving brother♥️

On August 26 2009 my grandma passed away and my niece was born. The coroner pronounced my grandma at 2:49am and my sisters water broke at 2:50am my niece was born at 2:56am. I believe my grandma hugged my niece on the way. Because my niece says she has dreams where my grandma is telling her how much she loves her and how she has grown to be a beautiful girl.

I was living in California when I got a call saying I’d better come home to Rhode Island because they didn’t think my Dad would last very long. I flew out and stayed with my sister. After a week, I had to go back home, but on the day I was to leave I awoke about 5am knowing I had to get to the hospital. As I was trying to quietly leave I heard my sister say “You going to the hospital”, I said yes and she said “I’m coming too” We went together. I knew as soon as I saw my dad that he would pass very soon. I heard footsteps in the hall and I went out to see who it was. It was my eldest brother. The weird thing is, my Dad had 5 children, his favorite two, and the three he really didn’t care much for, one of which was me. I was holding his hand when he passed. I always thought how ironic it was that his least favorite children felt he was going to die and went to the hospital as his two favorites slept peacefully and were not there with him. There must be a message there.

My mom died in 2019 at 101. I usually went out to see her on her birthday in August. I live on the opposite coast, so 3,000 miles away. My brother, who was sort of local to her, let me know that she’d been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I decided that I should probably go out earlier than her birthday. I went out in the middle of January. She had also fallen and broken her tail bone. Her assisted living place insisted on rehab before letting her come back. The hospice doctor of course said that doesn’t mesh with hospice. Mom was able to skip rehab, but had to have someone (me) stay over night with her for 7 (!) nights to make sure that mom was reliable about pressing the call button for the night nurse. Why it had to be 7 nights I’ll never know. Mom was totally lucid, no dementia. I stayed the first night and reminded her to use the call button. She did that a couple times that night until the night nurse gave her something to sleep. She slept until she needed to use the commode and she pressed the call button. At some point during the morning, I met with the hospice nurse coordinator and we spoke at length, maybe an hour. The nurse noticed mom seemed uncomfortable (when we first met in mom’s room), and straightened her out and tucked her in bed. After a few minutes in mom’s room we left for a conference room and spent the rest of the convo there. After we finished talking, the hospice nurse went back into my mom’s room while I stayed outside, just 20 feet from her door, and called my brother to fill him in. While sitting there, the nurse came to tell me that mom passed. I’m amused because mom would do anything, including rehab or whatever she was told to do, to get back into her own bed. That’s all she wanted - to die in her own bed. She did it and on her terms.
