I am terribly sorry to hear about your mother. My father died of Lymphoma and I had hospice care for him at home. They took care of pain management, sent a nurse out weekly, education of caregivers, provided appliances to make life a little easier like wheelchairs and commodes and bathing and respite care. After my dad passed they provided grief counseling. I was very grateful to have the support they gave me. I hope this helps...
God bless you,
