Hi Paul, I have to agree with Amy that we can't underestimate the power of contact. A lot of our patients find it comforting to have someone holding their hand, or the light massage with lotion that Amy is describing. My thoughts are with you and your Mom. I'm glad to hear that she has accepted the live in help. I hope that her passing in an easy one. Regards JoAnne
