My mother died 12 days ago on 9/2/15. I am having trouble coming to terms with my mom's passing. I had cared for her for 5 years since my father's passing and she moved next door to me. Mom had COPD and we were told a week before her passing she was in the late stages, had 6 months to a year and had to go on hospice. She was on hospice two days before she fell broke her wrist. I took her to the ER and things spiraled out of control. Hospice gave mom a double dose of morphine before the ER trip. My mom was out of it and never fully came out of it. An ambulance took her home and we couldn't get her to wake up fully and her body was very ridged. Hospice guessed she had a mild stroke. Hospice told us to continue with morphine and agitation meds. I keep thinking if we didn't drug her up maybe she would have come out of it and lived. I feel horrible and can't stop thinking about this. She only lived 6 days after she fell. Has anyone had doubts about listening to Hospice?
