I am now going to look up hospice volunteer opportunities around here. Im a cancer survivor as is my husband and in a blink of an eye this could be us or any of our loved ones. I truely hope should that day come we will have a place like this to turn to. Bless every one of u for all that u do.

I empathize with Jenny and the other spouses. I was only 46 and husband 47 when he died at home from cancer. Even at tbe relatively "young"age of 46, it was really exhausting to care for him as he grew sicker and more frail. I also had children ages 11 and 15. It was awful. I will never forget the bone weary exhaustion of 24 hr caring. Hardly any sleep, he would get violently ill night and day. Hospice in the US has no options. Here is your hospital bed, tons of meds, no visits, you are on your own.

So sorry for your loss. I wish we had this sort of help in the US, even if it were in the patient's own home. Hospice care here is a "for profit" business, so the quality varies greatly.

My late husband was very confused at the end days with cancer he did not know me any more, it was heartbreaking, he had hospice at home with help from my two sons and age concern were marvellous, he was 59 years old.

yeah the hospice is a place filled with laughter and happiness….. it’s astonishing how this bullshits people. the hospice is the last resort when people need around the clock care because otherwise they would not be receive the care they need. and the hospice for many people is their final destination before the box is rolled into the room

Hospices are places where human beings can be treated with respect in key moments of their lives when their health does not allow otherwise. This also includes moments of joy and warmth whenever possible. If you'd volunteer there, you would realise what we mean. All the best!

So it may be just me on this one but I feel giving her confused husband with mets in his brain the ability to get up and out of the bed by himself would not make her life easier. Her complaints were mental and not physical and I don't understand why giving him mobility would improve her life. She would have to be right beside him the whole time and since he's confused she wouldn't know when he would try to get up so she probably would never leave his side.

I totally agree, that made no sense. His mobility and stability was only going to decrease as his condition worsened, due to the brain mets....and given that it said he fractured his hip a year before that, it just really made no sense for all of the reasons you stated plus he's a tall man and if he fell while standing up or trying to walk with just his wife there at home, then what?

Ugh! I can identify with Jennifer. Her Husband, Brian, was a smoker and ended up with lung cancer. My Husband is also a smoker and is not willing to quit. He likes it. I’m sure I will be resentful when his time comes as well. It’s just so darn frustrating when out loved ones get sick with something that could have easily been prevented.

If Jennifer is so angry , he is better off away from her. I am sure she's trashed him to doctors and nursed.. Thank God nurses and doctors are compassionate . I am sure she is praying. For his death! Many get lung Cancer that never smoked or liver cancer without drinking a drop.

The individuals who have died at a residential facility should be leaving via the front entrance, not the back door. An honour guard of staff, volunteers, patients and their families have an opportunity to show a final gesture of respect to the deceased individual.

When my Dad passed of cancer this past summer, in hospice, they covered the funeral home body bag with a beautiful patchwork quilt called the "dignity blanket" and he was wheeled out the front door to the funeral home vehicle. It was early morning, about 6:30am or so so no visitors coming in or out but I do wonder how that would be during regular visiting hours, I feel it would be very upsetting to visitors to be walking in to witness this.

My condolences to you and your family. Visitors, residents and their families would know and understand that hospice care is about providing care at end of life. Death is a part of all of our journeys and this ritual reminds us of this and that it is normal and Ok to have all sorts of feelings about it. It is an opportunity for those present to make a final gesture of respect to the deceased.
