Most people, given the choice, would want to die at home, but in reality the situation can make this really difficult sometimes. With Hospice care, the staff and nurses will be able to keep control of any situation that comes up as a result of your mum's illness in a way you and your dad might not be able to at home on your own.

I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.

Ok.
This is all quite awful, basically.
She's in the cancer ward in hospital, and we're trying to figure out what to do.
She can barely keep her eyes open, hasn't the energy to talk, and is uncomfortable (fortunately, not in pain).
She had an X-Ray this morning, which showed the tumour in her lungs, liver and some other places... her blood results are all over the place.
The drip that had been fitted started bleeding, and they couldn't stop it, so she has a huge bandage on her arm. The doctors will have to deal with that tomorrow.
Dad and I sat with her all day. It was fine... just talking nonsense, keeping in good spirits, and dealing with it.
The hospice nurse will come in tomorrow to help us decide the best course.
We could take her home, as planned, but it will be incredibly difficult to get her to the toilet and back (practicalities are important). Also, if she starts bleeding again, there's nothing we can do. But, she had originally wanted to go at home.
Alternatively, we can go to the Hospice, where she will receive all the good care and help... but we don't want to have to leave her... and it may mean she will never come home again.
