What about hospice. When my mom was in her process of dying I kept asking my 2 health care professional sisters about requesting visits from hospice and both sisters told me that in order to get hospice visits you have to only gave 6 mos. To live and that had to be documented somehow from a doctor. I have always been the black sheep in my family and finally asked her doctor. Turns out they were both wrong. Some patients have had hospice visits for 2 years. There is no age or time left requirement. I called and they were there within 24 hours. I found them to be helpful and matter of fact when needed. I would reach out to them as of course they specialize in dying. We need to destigmatize the whole process so that talking about it does not make us out to be ghoulish. We will all get there and some people me included want to discuss.
