Excellent information. I retired recently after 17+ years work with hospice. Each patient and family member has to handle the experience personally in their own time and on their own terms but the support of hospice is phenomenal. My own mother became a patient at my hospice in her last year of life and even I grappled with the guilt and questions that I had spoken to hundreds of others about during their journey. It is difficult but I know it is what she wanted and it gave us quality time we would not have had without the hospice interventions. Hospice does not mean you are giving up - it just means you have made the choice to let life take its' natural course and will have the support of a myriad of caring, supportive people to walk with you on your journey.
