My sister was mentally ill but very smart.She fought Hospice and somehow I ended up knowing the person who owned the hospital so we got to keep her a few more months close to home.She told me she wanted to be in charge and she was till the last day when she said she was in pain and asked me for help.She was dead in 10 hours when i gave them the go ahead for hospice-what the hell does Hospice mean anyway-snuff them out.

The word Hospice comes from Latin and used to mean an Inn or place to stay and rest up for your journey. They were popular in the time of the great pilgrimages to Holy shrines.
