Nonsense.

The "hospice" specializes in murder (ok - government-funded "assisted living until death" - NOT intensive care for a person NEAR death.

Hardly the place a person in her condition should be going at this time.

Whatever..... See where she surfaces.

Completely agree. This is a very dangerous situation, to be monitored very closely by the family. They should not trust anyone right now.

This post is strictly Hospice related.

I thank God for Hospice.

My Mother-in-Law died of stomach cancer. On the day she had surgery to remove an operable tumor only to find the cancer had spread incredibly, she was given maybe a week, maybe a month to live.

She lived for 22 days.

Twenty-two days of dying from a horrible illness that we could not have made it through without Hospice. She died in peace & we were ALL at peace when she died. (Thank you again, Lord.)

One of the differences between Terri & my mother-in law is that mom asked for Hospice care, Terri didn't.

I hope that if you ever have a loved with a terminal illness who is facing death that you consider at least talking to Hospice if not using their services.

BTW, I thought Hospice couldn't accept a patient unless death was expected within 6 months and if 6 months passed, Hospice care was terminated (until the patient was facing death again). I have not read anywhere that Terri was expected to die within 6 months.
