[quote=Anonymous]OP for us it was the difference between treatment with hopes of getting better to accepting that he was dying. He was almost completely unconscious/ asleep and didn’t want to eat or drink when he was awake. Hospice meant no more feeding tubes, just water from a sponge around the lips, and morphine to help the pain. They also spoke to us about what to expect as far as dying and the practical aspects of the funeral home coming to the home/hospital to get his body. For the most part I found all them compassionate and practical. 💯 I would like my kids to call in hospice when I am close. Have a check list and ask the hospice person- thangs like- do you stop feeding? Oxygen? What type of pain relief? When? Etc. [/quote]
