Very sorry to hear this, I just went through it with my loving mother, pancreatic. We opted for hospice at her home because that's where she wanted to be and going to a facility couldn't do much more than what we could do at home. Just give her all the love you can and have meaningful conversations if possible. You and your mother are in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear this. i lost my Mom 2yrs ago to Cancer. She fought it as much as she could...she luckily got to see and play with my youngest brothers twins before she passed
She was placed in Hospice care but at home.....I'm not sure that was a good thing or not looking back on it. In some ways it was good cause Dad got to be with her day/night until the end...in others its now weird going back to the house when i visit with Dad. She had one great day when she somehow woke up and there happened to be some 10-15 people visiting at that time and she got to see them all and talk with them. Got one last pic of her laughing before the end. Chokes me up writing this! Far as i know that was the last time she was awake....they basically kept feeding her morphine to ease her discomfort and she passed in her sleep like 2days later. There's nothing anyone can say to easy any pain....just know it does get easier day by day and you never forget them in your memories........I almost think of my Mom daily! there's always something reminding me of her

Similar with my mother. However her last words were one last blast of her son. She was clearly on her journey and had been silent/sleeping for a couple days. I was sitting on her bed wiping her forehead with a wash cloth for no reason in particular and just generally just fussing over her when she suddenly woke up and said emphatically "I'm not dead yet!!" I chuckled and smiled at her, the last words she ever spoke.
