If your mom has a living will and a DNR, you are honoring her wishes. Please do not second guess yourself. Know that you are being her voice now that she cannot speak. I know how hard it is. I went through the same thing with my Grandma in 2009.

Ask the hospice people about her state of consciousness. They are very knowledgeable and helpful and I am sure they can ease your mind about what she is aware of (i.e. thirst, etc).

Hugs and prayers to you.
