I am surprised hospice would allow this.
Screw Hospice! If she wanted to see her horse then someone makes that happen, her family should have. No one should ever have to ask hospice permission to do anything.
That’s compassionate. If it had been in Canada, they would have euthanized both her and the horse.
Hopefully I won’t need hospice anytime soon, but at this moment, I’d like to think that if I am about to step foot into eternity I would have other things on my mind. But yes, it is a sweet story.
That’s beautiful song, made even better by the piano solo intro and coda. That solo is based on a piece by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. Prelude in D flat, Op 11, No. 15.
Thank you, Nick!
PING to a buddy who loves horses!
Sad she does not have family that made that happen.
Not about me but just getting too close in age if not time.
Wondering what determines who will be an active 80 year-old or when the thing ticking inside you goes off.
Live today,
Dream tomorrow
and
Cherish the past.
Give it all you’ve got.
I’ve been through life ends with my parents and wife of 42 years. Hospice was a blessing.
Nice story.
The hospice caring for my mom in her final days were the same people who had worked with her for some time before. They were impacted as much as the family when she passed. My wife and I made sure to send them an edible treat basket (you would have had to know my mom to understand why that was so fitting) as a thanks for their care. The facility was one that her and my dad picked out. It offered regular residences all the way to hospice care.
