Monday, June 08, 2009 at 06:10 AMThanks, PJ. Each day when I talk to my family, they mention another way that Hospice is helping. Because hospices are local organizations and because they work with people in emotional crisis, every time I recommend them so wholeheartedly, I hold my breath thinking someone will write in with a hospice horror story. But so far the response has always been like yours. I'm glad they were there for you when you needed them.

Monday, June 15, 2009 at 05:45 PMHospice was also there for my Mom, Dad, and me when my Mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer back in 2004. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful they were. The social worker handled oodles of paperwork to be notarized and had my Mom and Dad write up a "life book," a story of my parents' life accompanied by photos. My brother and I treasure that book. A hospice volunteer was a God-send to my parents when my brother and I could not be there to help them. I have heard nothing but good things about hospice from everyone who has used them.

What a touching post (and informative), Phyllis — thank you. I've been involved with hospice twice, and both experiences have been superior. They're a great group. I love how you position your response to fit whatever the situation calls for - comfort for the patient, and/or the family. Keep on keeping on - you're filling a vital role in your cancer support groups. PJH
