Home hospice. It's a good thing, but it aint easy. Trying to go about activities of daily living while your loved one is dying in the other room is grindingly painful - and guilt laden. But the old saying "life goes on". And it does. In spite of everything. Thanks to everyone one here on Poal keeping me laughing and reminding me we're all going through it, whatever "it" may be. Cheers.

96 is quite an achievement. My neighbor turned 96 this month, she's the oldest person I've ever known.

Sincere condolences on your loss. She suffers no more. Yes, we all have to go through it if we live long enough. I watched each of my dear parents pass, it was the toughest thing I've ever had to endure. I still miss them every day. Focus on the living and your own happiness in this realm, that is in essence what they wanted for you, to continue on and live your best life.
