And I Held their Hands with a Hospice Heart: Stories of Faith, Hope, Love and Loss

I will tell you about hospice, the love I have for this organization, and what it did for me. Hospice is everything right in life when everything is wrong. When life and every aspect of it is out of control, hospice manages the chaos and turmoil. Hospice is a “team” effort. After my husband died, I wanted to join this team to help others going through a Hospice situation. “Team Hospice” rallies around the “family unit” and assists during this critical time. I know all too well what these families are going through and how they feel. I have walked this path and I want to tell them they are strong. They will get through their grief in time. By writing these stories and publicly speaking about hospice, my mission is to share my experiences and the similarities that all long-term/life-threatening illnesses have in common. When you think that there are no choices left, there is still one. THE HOSPICE CHOICE “QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH THE END OF LIFE”
