Let’s say your loved one is at the end of life. She’s 84, with advanced cancer that is no longer treatable.
A decision has been made to put her in hospice — which is a level of care more than an actual location. (Most hospice actually occurs at home.)
The patient waxes in and out of consciousness, sometimes lucid, but mostly not.
While no one is ready for her to die, this end-of-life process brings some solace — it’s what your loved one has indicated she wants, and the time at home without aggressive, often fruitless, medical treatment, allows other friends and family members to make visits and share stories.
