Nearing the end of her life.

I am fairly certain that my sister is right, that my mother is nearing the end of her life. She sleeps a lot, does not interact with others, signs the cross continually, and appears to have some sort of uncoordination going on, along with the immobility. My sister and I agree that my mother should continue to live at home until she goes to Heaven. A hospital bed in the living room and a hospice nurse would make her more comfortable. Transfers from a bed to her lift chair are not possible or safe any more. My father has taken wonderful, compassionate care of my mother. They celebrate their 69th wedding anniversary on Aug 30. I am peaceful as I know that I could not have done more to take care of my mother. My vacations that last few years have been working vacations. We went camping, but I took care of my mother so my dad could enjoy a few days rest. I stayed with her during my dad's great western adventure. I brought flowers so that she always had carnations and a red rose. I played countless games of scrabble, read magazines with her, took her to the nail salon and the department store. Yes, I am at peace.
