I lived in Houston for my couple years of Pastoral Care at SW Memorial Hospital (now part of Hermann). I worked with Hospice, AIDS and cancer patients Essentially all my patients died. On my days off getaways to San Antonio and Matagorda (before it was a state park and just a sleepy SMALL fishing village) were my escapes. Miss Texas. Had a job awaiting me in Charleston .. Pastoral care but instead came to Ohio to take care of mom as she was given 3-6 months to live. The hospital said they would wait. Mom lived 20 more years. Am I a good caregiver or what? Well, basically just took her off ALL HER ESSENTIAL meds. within a few days she was a new woman Never had problems with any of the conditions she was medicated for.
Texas people were so great. Well they still are.. :-)
Wow....you ARE a great caregiver!! What a blessing you are!!
I love this area (SE) of TX because we can access the coast, the Hill Country, San Antonio, DFW relatively easily.
Yes, you are a truly amazing care giver! Both of my parents were in Hospice care their final few weeks. The people caring for them were so special. It was so sad, but a blessing to be surrounded by people who really cared.
Hospice are an awesome, wonderful group. They helped my family take care of our Mom with terminal cancer.
When they saw the stress was getting too much for my sister and I they would step in and increase their help.
Wonderful wonderful group.
Bless you for what you do/did.
