My mom passed away, on Feb. 01, after a lenghty illness. During the period between mid-December and the day she died, she was made comfortable by caring nurses who placed morphine drops, on her tongue, every 4 hours.

The reason I mention mid-December, is that is when the cardiologist told my brother & I, that there was surgical procedure that he could perform, that might buy my mom a few more months, but it might just as well kill her. She told us that she would rather be assured of a little more time, even if it was painful, than the uncertainity of surgery.

So, in our case, pain killers were just the ticket.
