Colleen,
I trust you are finding out what angels Hospice nurses are. They were here with us during the suffering of our daughter's final weeks and each one of them was such a blessing. I'm so sorry that you are going through this - I know how horrible it is. I echo the recommendations of those above to just spend as much time close to your mom as you can. Hold her and tell her how much you love her == and how much you will miss her. She can hear you!
God bless you and your family.

Bonnie
