My mom says she is dying and doesnt answer the phone. She tells me to call at certain times and then doesnt answer. Why?

How many times has she done this? I'm thinking maybe she was sleeping or just too tired to talk or answer the phone. Does she live close? Are you both close, or is there friction or manipulation there? If she told you to call but didn't, it could even be a way for her to get you over there and telling you that she needs you. She may be feeling alone. I think you should go over there and check on her. If she's that ill, I would be concerned that maybe she may have fallen and hit her head or something, but I would check it out so I know exactly what is going on. She may need help but she can't ask for it, so please check on her. It would be awful to lay in the floor and not be able to get hold of anybody or call anyone. Sounds like she may need to be in a hospice. She doesn't seem to be doing too well in taking care of herself.
