Margo. I am so sorry for your losses.
Thank you all for spreading the word about hospice. I am a hospice nurse. I used to work with adults butI currently work at the only freestanding inpatient facility for end of life care for children. Although it might sound odd, I look forward to going to work every day because my work is so meaningful.
Remember, the earlier you bring in hospice the more support you get from the whole hospice team. And it's ok to graduate from hospice and get better.
Margo, you were a wonderful friend and I know your friend appreciated that. That's all that matters in the end.... loved ones.
