in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

My BH, age 65 now, is very close to the end of his journey. If someone has a “to do” list I would love feedback.

    so sorry you are at this point. I’ve been there. Is he under hospice care? If so, they have counselors and Social Workers who can help you. Just ask the hospice nurse. The facility also knows what to do. Keep talking to him. He can hear you. We are here for you. Sending love and hugs. 💜

    yes, Jimmy is in hospice care. However his hospice team at Silverado Beverly Place are totally useless. Sad but true. At least the skilled caregivers there are, and always been, so wonderful. Thanks for bringing this up. I need to talk to the administrator. Also am looking into a “death doula”

    Ask for a different hospice group. You are allowed to.

    I have no advice to offer. But I do offer caring concern for fellow travelers on this most difficult journey. I hope that as the journey comes to an end, it is as easy and peaceful as it can be.
