I want to thank all that have contributed to the board. I have only posted a couple times but have read pretty much every post on the board to help cope with my Mother's Oral Cancer, being primary caregiver to her.

Sad to say my mother passed away last week after about a week in Hospice. My sister and I were with her for the last two weeks of her life and helped care for her in Hospice. I am not sure if it would be of any help on this board to post exactly what happened and how we helped care for her during this time. Please let me know.

Thank you and God Bless you all.
