hospice care

I did Hospice Care with my Mom last year. It was one of the worst and best things I've ever done. There's a huge difference in one term... there are caregivers and caretakers. The takers are looking out for themself while taking care of another person.

Watching your parent wind down like a toy on a battery commercial is extremely tough. Getting to spend the last months with her were priceless. Some of the members here met my Mom. She was an incredible person, generous, with a great sense of humor. Got to share some great stories and fun moments the last few months.

I agree that hospice care is incredible. Having a good team of pros from health, social, religion, psychology is a relief for the caregiver.

@67Dart273 Funny, my POS sister wanted my mom to go to assisted living. Even though my mom protested, nope she's going. I said F no she's not and she came back to stay with me. Best thing I've done. Mom was happy and safe here.
