Kraniac- Our condolences for your loss, and another vote for Hospice people and the wonderful care they provide. They allow the person (not 'patient') to die at their own terms with their dignity intact. They were so wonderful for my mother in law's final week, and they took such wonderful care of our family as well. After that experience, my wife started her 8 year career in Assisted Living, and was able to use what she learned from the Hospice team to give the same loving care to over a hundred people who died in her presence (and often in her arms) and to their families.
