My Mom was the same way at the end. It is hard to deal with as a caregiver....but let her sleep.
I would bring in hospice soon. At her age and sleeping that much now, I would think she is very near the end,
even if she doesn't need the palative care they offer...you could probably use the support services to help

At 98, I would assume she could be nearing the end of her life.
But has anything new happened? Med change, etc?
I guess just make sure she's comfortable and safe and let her be. Although I think I would have a hard time taking my own advice!

If I reach 98 years of living, please let me rest. My body and mind will probably be tired 🙂
