Sorry to hear how tough things are, Chinaco.
Although it may not be relevant for you, be sure to learn about what hospice could offer. A doctor has to certify that the person likely has 6 months or less left to live to be enrolled.
My mom was enrolled last July. Hospice will provide equipment, send someone to the house to give her a bath, spend time with her, even clean the house to help out. A great organization.
In our case, Mom continued to hang on, and was kicked out of hospice. She's living at my sister one's house with sister two currently being the primary caregiver, and is mostly bedridden.
It's a great strain, and is destroying some of the relationships between us siblings.
