[quote=Anonymous]When my father was dying of cancer, my mom tried to handle everything herself. One of the hospice nurses spoke to my mother privately and told her that although she’d done a great job of caring for my father, it was time for her to let them handle the medical side and for her to just focus on her most important job: being his loving wife. She told my mom that his final days shouldn’t be full of her rushing around with an endless to-do list, that he just needed her love and companionship. That conversation freed my mom to step back and she was super grateful to the nurse.[/quote]
