[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is not in need of hospice at this time. [/quote]

Hospice provides more services then hospice care. They provide support even when hospice services aren't needed. My Mom is a hospice support leader for a group who meets weekly. The group is for caregivers of terminally ill loved ones. My father has been terminally for almost a decade. He isn't in hospice care and at the rate he is going may outlive her!  But she gets/gives support through hospice. [/quote]

Jesus, just drop the hospice thing.[/quote]

I'm the first poster who mentioned hospice. I think that the PP's point was that hospice care also has resources for caregivers of terminally ill people. There are a lot of misconceptions about it. The OP would probably find a support group like the one described in the post you're dismissing pretty helpful as I'd imagine they spend a lot of time talking about how to be emotionally supportive of a terminally ill loved one.[/quote]
