About Lovescar

I'm scared my sweet aunt is nearing her end days,but I haven't been able to see her as I'm shielding.she has aggressive lung cancer,she refused treatment,and doesn't want to go to a hospice against the nurses recommendation,she wants to die at home,she doesn't eat and had 2 sips of water a day,I'm fearfull she's in the last stages,she's confused,calling out for her son that passed 15yrs ago,asking to see him.but she has a few lucid moments,not many tho.is there a chance the high doses of morphine are confusing her?? And I am praying she makes it to Xmas,but am I being too optimistic,just advice on what to expect to see when she's close to dying.please help me learn and understand the dying process. Many thanks
