I don't want it to end badly and live with regrets but it seems we fight a lot and she is so critical and I can't seem to do anything right ibn her eyes. I want to forgive and be forgiven but it doesn't seem it is that important to her. We had a fight (she is in hospital) and have not spoken for 5 days. This is eating me up but I don't know what to say and do to fix it. Please offer suggestions..words? letter? an action?

How about:
Mom, I don't understand why we fight or why there is so much hate between us. Especially now. I don't know what I did to hurt you to the point of anger, but please forgive me. I don't want the last memory of each other to be of a hateful conversation.
... something like that. Hopefully maturity will get the better of both of you. It takes 2 to fight. Right?

My mom died two years ago. Fortunately we were close.
Remember and talk about the pleasant things you did together. Thank her for all she has done for you. Tell stories from fun and happy times.
If you have any disagreements with her, just let them go. Don't argue. She probably hurts and it can't be pleasant knowing she is dying. Let her know she did well and that she has a grateful child.
Hopefully both of you will feel better.

I can relate I have this kind of relationship with my mom. I have learn to go along with her, Humor her. She is set in her ways I can not change her. So I let her be right, and I don't expect to much from her, She did not have much of a raising.So I get what I can, and I am happy with that. It is worth it to have some kind of relationship with her. I was also told to see her as a child and look into her eyes. What I saw caused me to try harder to get along with her. good luck
