I was having a really hard time when my great grandma was dying. I had a hospice nurse come up to me and give me the biggest hug ever when I was there, she talked me through it all, and it was the best. If you need hospice care, get it!

I have a good friend who is 99 years old and she is "finally" slowing down. She never had a primary care doctor, rarely got sick, never took any medication, and was raking her own leaves just a few months ago! She lives by herself in a large, older home. She is mentally sharp, and still remembers everyone's birthday. Things have changed. She was hospitalized after a fall, she returned home, and now is very weak. She has no family. It is up to a few supportive friends, including me, to make sure she is cared for now. She has always said she wants to die at home, where her husband died so many years ago. Thank you for this information because we have many decisions to make about ways to get her the best care. Hospice may be available.

Good intro to those who know little about how public health works, including the end 0f life stages of human life. Myself now in the hospice stage of my life. Last 50 years, in Australia, being a social & professional mover in the public health areas of Australia's non-government, non-commercial sectors. Fifty years of long, tedious political manouvres, politicing, etc. And more to come, after I leave this planet. Hopefully, the humans who continue living will develop more empathy in all human conditions, rather than the extremely low levels we have, on a population base, right now. The hospice movement is awaiting for this emergence of human empathy, to be developed further from pet-rocks, plants, animals, babies, etc.

What about those who aren't terminal but can't function due to intense pain that no one can help. Shes begged us to help her go tried to ens it herself but was brought back. Oh the guil I feel now. Animals get dignity.but not humans. Is that humane

If she's so experienced, why is she reading off of a teleprompter?

Yea...the answer is they are worried if ur insurance is gonna cover u....and...since we dont let people choose their own right to die...they just milk it
