End stage liver disease

[SisterSue]

My sister has cirrhosis due to HepC.  In the past two months she has lost over 50 pounds in muscle mass, her immune system can't heal leg sores and she has profound weakness.  Her meds include morphine and methadone for pain control, but she needs a lot.  I am her caregiver and need to get input from others who have been there near the end of life and need some help with what to expect.  She has bouts of hep. encepalopathy, ascites, thin blood.  She in on Pegysus therapy.  I know she is nearing the end, but the Doctor says she can't give any time frame, which I understand.   She can't be left alone at all due to pain management and frequent falls.  Thank you.

Having you with her through her transition to another existence is the best gift she can have.  Is hospice available to her?
They can make this transition a significant experience for all involved and provide you with much needed medical information on the end of life.
A wonderful psychologist wrote several books on death and dying(Kubler-Ross) when you feel strong enough to read them.
best to you and your family
