    Good group...Hospice. I hope he recovers obviously, but it doesn't sound good. Best wishes to all.

        I am so sorry, bluedog. Hope you can sit by his bed with him now . . . precious time. Blessings on you all.

          Hospice was great with my mom. Also with my brother. Made the end less painful.

          We have to accept that death is waiting for all of us. It is good to have hospice there when our time comes.

              The Hospice folks were great. Things will get better.

                  Somehow, my family has avoided it - a small blessing, I guess. However, when needed they can be a blessing.

                  I wish you and yours peace. I hope you can use this time well.

                      Kind thoughts & prayers..

                      Dad went quick - boom, gone. Mom, an Aunt & the Aunts partner lingered. Hospice was a blessing - as in the only 'charity' I can see donating to. With the exception of one Dr (who wasn't actually a part of Hospice), they were kind, friendly, generous & compassionate people. I repeat my thanks to them - wherever they help & whomever they help.
