There are options for those with a life limiting illness...
When asked about hospice, many people know that it provides pain management,
emotional support, help with family care giving, and spiritual care to patients
and their families when a cure is not possible. Everyone seems to know a family
or friend who was helped by hospice when faced with the serious illness and death of a loved one.
However, many people may not know that hospice provides
what the majority of Americans desire at the end of life—to die where they call home with the
comfort of their loved ones and free from pain.
