Billy, this is very reassuring news. Hospice helps to make you a little more sure-footed along that uncertain trail ahead. Hugs…

I am so glad you found hospice, Billy. In August we spent 3 lovely days visiting a friend who, when diagnosed with his condition, was given just 2 weeks to live. We had a wonderful time reminiscing with him and his family, hospice was there daily to support them, and always only a phone call away.

Before that, I think we all sensed his time was short, and we spent the past year doing whatever struck his fancy - whether taking a drive to a favorite place, just sitting and chatting, or making a trip to Harbor Freight.

I vote with Lori - while you still have the desire, see or talk to everyone dear to you, travel if you can, eat your favorite foods - and fell free to have bad, anxious or angry days. They are part of the process of letting go.

I am glad you will have the support of family, friends and hospice to ease your journey.
Take care, and come back with any questions or even just to chat.
Sue
