Home or hospice, the decision is awful if your parent is aware. Twelve years ago my Mum had cancer and Dad cope not cope, brother and I were working full time and after numerous emergency callouts from my Dad, it was decided to put Mum into a hospice. The morning came and my Mum refused to budge. After lying to her, saying she was coming home that night, doctor just wanted to check her etc, she went. But I do feel guilty as she died there 3 weeks later against her wishes.
