Hi Annette
It's wonderful that you can be there with and for your Mum. If she's a woman of Christian faith, perhaps she would appreciate you reading some of the great passages in the Bible to her or even singing some of her favourite hymns with her and praying with her if you are able. These are things which my father-in-law, who was also a man of faith, appreciated during his last days. My own parents were killed instantly in a car accident at 62 and 71 years old, and it's so much nicer when one has warning of what is to come and has time to say goodbye.
