Wheelchair bound

Mom is in the wheelchair most days I come now. She did go to an activity last week with me and her best friend- making a pottery- so I know she still has some engagement which is great.

But most days, she is quiet. She rarely speaks during visits. Her speech is mostly sounds - although her intonation is quite clear sometimes! She doesn’t want to go outside. Treats are meh now, even chocolate, which breaks my heart. She has been on hospice for a year, it’s all to be expected, but it still hurts. She does smile occasionally and reaches out for my hand sometimes. She’s moving from stage 6 to stage 7 I think. I want to match her tone, but it’s hard. I don’t quite know what to do.
