“Then she died of morphine poisoning.”

I don’t think that is a fair thing to say, at all.

I don’t know if you are just being snarky and I’m very sorry if you had a bad experience. But I’ve had 2 family members who had in home hospice care and I assure you, and everyone, neither died of morphine overdoses.

Anybody who is getting hospice care is pretty much on the way out, we have to accept that death is part of life; miracles can happen, but sometimes, in the end all the time, people do die.

Again, I’m sorry if you had a bad experience, RIP to your loved ones.

My father died with in-home hospice coming once a day to take his vitals and do anything they could for my mother and I. When Dad died, he was on one medication, and it was ordinary, over-the-counter Tylenol. He had taken morphine months before, and Mom and I gave it to him. After the radiation shrunk the tumors, he didn’t need any morphine at all.

I, too, am sorry if you have had bad experiences with hospice and the death of a loved one. God bless.

I’m sorry, jocon307, my post was for Talisker in answer to your own experience with hospice care. It’s late and I forgot to add Talisker’s name as a recipient.
