Yes, Hospice is amazing....they have helped with some of my family members. My step-dad passed away a few years ago but not at home - in the hospital. Everyone knew he would die but it still took a few days. I still believe the staff at the hospital never realized what a strong man he was even at 90 years old. I get the feeling when they see someone that old they just shrug and say he's lived a long life and now at that age he is too weak to get through this. Even as an advocate it is hard fighting against the current.
I hope my death is quick. That's all I can say. Painless or not - if it's quick it doesn't really matter.
And I want a viking funeral - somehow....
Every day is a gift.
