Why is Mrs.Dubose so sick?
She was addicted to Morphine. Mrs. Dubose was a morphine addict, and she had been slowly dying from pain. However, Jem and Scout helped her live free of the addiction by reading to her every day. She died because she was a morphine addict. Mrs. Dubose died of suffering many years of cancer. Before her doctor had told her she only had a few months to live, she decided she wanted to die free and not addicted to her morphine. So gradually every day when Jem and Scout came to read to her she had an alarm set that so every day when it went off her caretaker would give her a small dose of morphine. Gradually each day the clock went off later and eventually stopped, and that is when Mrs. Dubose had finally conquered her morphine addiction and was not dependent on it any more. It is never specifically stated how she dies, but we know she was told that she only had a few months to live, and that she was addicted to morphine. She was an elderly woman in a wheelchair who wanted to break herself of her addiction before she died. She did this and "died free." (See the end of Chapter 11). She died in her home peacefully of old age as well as getting over a morphine addiction, she died clean.

Does morphine mean close to death for a hospice patient?
It doesn't in principle, there are, however, certain situations in which it may do so. Morphine causes respiratory depression, meaning that it suppresses the bodies drive to breathe. The body adapts quickly to this, and in most cases, in waking patients, this is not much of a problem. In very weak patients, such as end-stage cancer patients, that are unconscious either due to disease processes or due to sedation, the respiratory depression that morphine causes may speed up dying, however.
What does it mean when organs are slowing down?
It could just mean a natural part of aging, or it could mean that the person is dying. Usually when someone is dying in a nursing home they give them morphine to ease the pain of death, when they do this it slows the breathing and the heart rate which can be accelerated because of the pain, and helps them to relax. That is why most people think that morphine will kill their loved one when in reality, the person administering the morphine really just wants the patient to be in less pain.
