What are physical signs besides shortness of breath my mom is actively dying from copd she's in the end stage plus respiratory failure it's only me her and my 2 little ones i'm terrified there going to see her die?

Is there anywhere else your little ones can stay temporarily while you are caring for your mother? The hospice social worker may be able to help with this. Hopefully, a relative or close friend can help-maybe someone can stay with you and keep your kids occupied in another room while you take care of your mom? I know how difficult this is-hardest thing ever-but there is help. Call hospice tonight.
