EC, so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Bec, home is so much better than the hospital. We brought our mother home and had a couple of good months where friends and neighbors got to say goodbye and Mom was much more comfortable. The local hospital had a great hospice program, so she had a daily nurse visit and pain management, as well as grief counseling for the family. Much better than hanging out in a hospital being poked and prodded every couple of hours.
