Do you ever go into a hospice for a couple of days?

[newwomannow]

Hi,
Looking for advice / knowledge from anyone who has been in a similar situation or knows the process.

My Mum has stage 4 pancreatic cancer & has been given a couple of months to live.

She has been attending the hospice for the day on a weekly basis for about a month & today they have taken her in.

My Mum has text to say she’ll see how things progress but my Dad has emailed to say it is all fine & she is just in for a couple of days to sort out her care needs.

I am worried that my Dad is in denial or has been given “softer news” by the staff so he doesn’t freak out.

I just want to know the truth - will she be coming out or not?

Any advice welcome.

My step mum went from sitting up and talking to mostly sleeping the next day the passing on the 3rd day she was in a hospice.
I told her on the 1st day not to worry about Dad, that I’d look after him. I’m so glad I did as we didn’t get any further time alone together, when she was coherent, where I could have told her.
What I’m saying is, anything you feel you need to say, that you’d regret if you didn’t.. say it when you can x

Ps.. if it’s Willen or Keech, they are just marvellous

Thanks for all the support here. My Mum died yesterday morning.

I’m really sorry Bird

I'm usually a lurker/reader but joined to reply. I used to volunteer at a hospice (stopped as have left the country). We used to have a room list for the week and a symbol for each patient. Smiley face meant that patient had gone home. There were a fair few on the list every time.

Sorry don't know where the came from!

I'm sorry for your loss Bird .
