Don’t put Christians in hospice care.
Hospice, I am convinced, kept increasing my husband’s morphine doses until he finally died.
Morphine was the final solution (and I don't use that term lightly, but very deliberately) to an aggressive cancer which had metastacized into his bones and was extremely painful. Adavan and similar anti-agitation meds were of ineffective.
At that time I had not known the Orthodox petition "A Christian ending to our life, painless, blameless, and a good defense before the judgement seat of Christ".
Now I fully understand its importance, nay, necessity.
