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.

Hospice is for people who are dying, Terri is not dying. She should be fed until she dies. However, I understand that you can't feed someone that is dying or almost dead, but Terri is not this! My grandfather just died under hospice care. He was alert and ate up until 3 days before he died. 3 days before he died he fell into a coma and went peacefully in his sleep. He wasn't expected to live as long as he did. His kidneys had failed and his heart was weak. He lived a long 87 years. It is people like this you don't feed, not Terri. She is alive, and not dying of anything. You don't stop feeding someone who only has brain damamge!
