I've had friends and family, who were near the end of their lives, and were given loving care by hospice volunteers, God Bless them. They were terminal ... Terri's not, so I'm in the dark of the policies of the hospice that Terr's in. I don't frankly see the reason she's IN a hospice facility. My understanding is that hospice shows up at your home when it's near the end, so you can have a peaceful death there, not in an institution.
I worked with a wonderfully kind man that volunteered for Hospice and have heard many good stories about Hospice.
However, there is just too much wrongdoing in Hospice, too.
Why doesn't someone in the FL Hospice testify what's going on, like not letting Terri have a window, or not gettting her teeth brushed, or getting some fresh air, or getting some therapy, et al?
My sister had a friend, in upstate New York, who in her 40's was dying of cancer. My sister and a group of friends prayed with a priest for this woman.
Right after that the woman improved and asked her mother for a tuna sandwich; her appetite even improved. The woman with cancer was happy again.
Then a woman from Hospice came to the home, and asked the woman's mother to leave the room. The mother did, and when she came back her daughter was depressed again, and soon after that died.
Hospice seems to take away all hope.
