Mom doesn't want to go hospice but the doctors and I think it's for the best so they can keep an eye on her pain 24/7. The doctor's are letting the family decided. I don't want to send her somewhere she doesn't want to go, but I want the best care for her. One reason she doesnt want to go is because her mother died their two years ago. She feels like hospice is giving up. She has severe COPD.

They are pushing us to make a decision soon to get us out of the hospital. I am only 27 and I have never had to make such a hard decision before. She is tell aware of her surroundings, shes just tired all the time. Another words she would know if she was at hospice. With home care, I still would be afraid that something would happen at the middle of the night and we would be up to give her the meds she needs to calm her breathing. I do not want her to suffer because we were not able to give her 24\7 care.
