in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

10/26/2026

After extensive visit and exam with admissions nurse, we went into hospice mode.

I had not, (as I am sure many of you had similar experience) planned on that being best choice for her. I thought we were just getting some help with her health care.

I am so very thankful I looked into getting help and got the gift of hospice for her sake.

    Even though we all know that there is going to be an unavoidable end to this disease, being told, being aware that that time is any day now, that's just sad. Hugs and prayers.

    Like you, I was so grateful, and deeply sad, when my DW was accepted into hospice. They were angels for us. I hope they are for you two as well.

    Big hug.
