R,

My dad was in an assisted living his last month followed by hospice of course. 

He died after 10 mths of having brain cancer.  His caregivers came to his

funeral.  He had made such an impression on them. (I', getting goosebumps and

crying just typing this).  I miss him very much.  He was a doctor and he told

them to be proud of their jobs and he called them his Angels.  They were

wonderful people.  I would like to eventually go into that field myself. 

Thank you for the job you do.  Not only did you make your hospice patients

comfortable but their families as well.

are you a nurse? Do you work with the elderly?  My kitten will

settle down I guess in a few months. I hope so anyway. I have worked

with many elderly that passed. THey just shut down. It was really hard

to see them go. I have fond memories of them.

gentle hugs

Everyone always tells me not to get close to them but I do and it always

hurts. We all end up crying and holding the other employees when someone

passes.

Awe laura, That is a wonderful job. Your a caregiver. You sound very

knowledgeable in medicine. Your very special . I was a

caregiver for a while. It is a fullfilling job. Yes one knows when

they are ready to go. I had a few go on me.

I was really broken when a few of them passed. I prayed with one

right before she passed. I was broken when any of them passed, but a

few I got close to cause I worked on the south end of the building.

God bless you .

gentle kind hugs

I lost my grandmother nearly 4 years ago in assisted living. Wish I knew

about hospice like I do now, she ended up with septicemia after two horrible

rounds of pneumonia (MARSA). Yes I went to the funeral too. I have to. It

is a support system for the families at that point.

Sorry about your dad Paris, glad you had hospice on board though!
