You know your mom has a maybe long road ahead of her, just be there for her its going to be hard i Know went through it with my dad he was on Hospice also they can change pain meds as needed to help with the pain just stay on hospice about it!!!! It is a really tough and sad time just try to keep your spirits up for your mom.
