thatsme70

thank you so much...i'm sorry, i should have been more specific...the stages of dying, that i was referring to, are what the body goes through while you are dying...my mother-n-law did mention something about the muscles and that the organs will be the next part of this phase...it's just been a very overwhelming experience... she does not have cancer...although she is "terminal"...she is only 23, but she is very handicapped...she is not able to communicate verbally, which makes this even more difficult...my mother-in-law has been her caregiver her entire life...hospice has been very helpful...thanks again for helping me...

i have been googling the stages of death and came across this website...my sister-in-law is dying and is being cared for by hospice...the nurse told my mother-in-law a few days ago, that she is in the "wasting" stage of dying...i'm not really sure what this means...and i didn't want to ask my family, because we are going through so much now...can anybody help me with this question???
