Susan , I just went thru the same thing with my mom a year ago. One thing my sister and I did was care for mom after she was bedridden. Hospice came in and helped and what great care mom got..One thing I did do is mom had a sense of humor thru her whole ordeal. I kept notes on the funny things she said to us and now I'm glad I did since it keeps her close . Memories of the good things your family had with her will always be in your heart . Take care and now is your friends time to be a support to you ..Talk it's good ! Share it's good...
Take care ..judy
