[quote=Anonymous]My dad died in the hospital on 6/27. We were trying to get him home to hospice and it just didn’t happen in his case. However, my significant other is a hospice doctor so I knew somewhat what we might be in for and OP is correct it’s extremely challenging, even for well resourced families and damn near impossible if the caregivers have jobs or other responsibilities like young children. That being said I obviously believe it’s worth the sacrifice, but families should go in with their eyes open. Sadly there just aren’t a lot of great options for dying in our country / culture. OP, condolences to you as you navigate your grief and the ongoing tasks associated with your loss. I’ll be thinking of you. [/quote]
