This is so hard because she does awaken and talk (some appropriate, some non-sensical). I thought she would be comatose. We would sit by and hold her hand, pray for her and us. She wakes and talks, and I don't know how to handle it. I'm so stressed today, I couldn't go to see her.
Being placed on Hospice does not mean death is imminent. It does mean that if the course of the diagnosed condition follows the expected course the life expectancy is 6 months or fewer. During that time no interventions will be taken, comfort measures only. At the end of the 6 months she will be reevaluated. Decline will be assessed and if there has been a marked decline she will remain on Hospice. If there has been no decline then she will be removed from Hospice. She can be reevaluated at a later date and placed back on Hospice at that time.
For now visit mom just as you normally would. Talk to her as you always have. Nothing really has changed. Other than "some doctor" says s/he "thinks" your mom will die within a specific period of time. No one knows when we will die. Death will happen when it happens.
Hospice has a great many advantages. Use the Social Worker, the Chaplain and the other services to talk about things, ask questions. These are wonderful people that have chosen a field that not many do. They see more and understand more than most medical professionals.
Being but on hospice doesn't mean it's The End. It could take some time.
As long as she's not suffering try to enjoy the time you have left with her.
May The Lord give you peace, strength and comfort.
