I can attest to the fact that you're never prepared for the end.  Try to stay in the moment and not to worry too much about the "next".

That is what I was afraid of. Yes, keeping swabs close by. I will contact them about which med to give her. She had lorazepam once and it did nothing. I've been taking care of her here at her home for 10 years (work full time and have a caregiver come when I'm at work)...you'd think I would have better prepared myself. Unfortunately not only will I lose my beloved Mom but I will also have to move because her home will have to be sold to pay her debtors. So much stress. Thanks for your answers and advice, very much appreciated. Blessings to you.

Agree with CW. Why aren't they giving her Ativan for agiyation? Are you swabbing her mouth?

Giving her food at this point is probably counterproductive. I'm so Sorry she's so agitated, and that YOU are dealing with this alone.

Call the hospice nurse and take her advice about giving mom meds from the Comfort Pack you were given.

I'm sorry your hospice organization and nurse are not being helpful to you, from your description it truly sounds as though your poor mom is experiencing terminal agitation and the end of her life is imminent. Are you prepared for this? Would you be willing to ask for drugs to keep her more comfortable in her final days?
