I agree that was VERY rude! I think that how long someone has left to live is up to that person and how much fight they have left in them. Janet, I've never met your mom, but your stories show she has much more fight than most people
 By the way, my uncle and godfather was told 19 years ago that he had maybe a year to live. He's still living. In my opinion, they are rarely right.

I think I worded that wrong. The man said that for Hospice to accept her she had to have less than 6 months to live. I was just a little upset that they sent a 26 - 28 year old man to talk about end of life with an 88 year old woman. Just didn't make sense to me.

Janet, I am sorry this did not work out for you, but there has to be something out there where you can get some help. I agree they should have sent someone a little older and more experienced with the situation.

Was your Mom upset about this, or is she glad she isn't going to Hospice?

She doesn't think I need any help because all she does is sit. I told her that's just part of what I need help with...to get her but up and moving a bit. Of course she doesn't need help at all...lol.
Today we have to go to the heart doctor.
