I have read the OP and the responses a number of times with a feeling of goodness in my heart that such fine people are willing to ask for advice in a most difficult circumstance and receive such caring responses.

The only real regret I have in my life is that I wasn't there when my Mother passed away from aggressive cancer. She had been in and out of the hospital and died within hours of her last visit. She died while I was enroute by plane from DC.

I would have treasured the opportunity to help care for my Mother in her life's dénouement. Bless you for being willing to do with you parent what I unfortunately could not with mine.
