He's in real bad shape from dementia and won't eat. In a way his passing will be a blessing but it is hard to watch and "hospice" has such a permanent ominous ring of finality to it.

Think I've told you this before, but the hospice folks were absolutely great with my dad. They work with the whole family as well as the patient, and were a great comfort to us all.

is a comfort to the loss. It is still an ending, but a beginning, as well. God's blessings to your family.

Prayers for your Dad and his family and friends.

My mom is at the end of her stay with hospice.... She'll be with the Lord in a day or two now....

It is hard to watch this stage of a parents life. You feel guilty for putting them in hospice and guilty for not doing more, but there is nothing left that you can do for them but love them and spend time with them. Part of the cycle of life I know, but so very hard none the less.......

The hospice agency that is helping with my mom has been simply wonderful in their care of her and support for the family. Far better for her than being in a nursing home or a hospital....

God be with you and your family.

It can be final & is for most who go there but the people are trained to do what needs done. I minister in those places & for the most part they are good places. The Lord be with you in this trying time.
