Hello, @shirleymac I was saddened to read your post. I’m Scott and lived through trauma similar to yours with my wife.

I did find hospice care to be a wonderful form of medical support for my wife —and for me. It was the first time her care was truly patient-first.

I hope you find it a help, too.

I’m happy to share more of our experiences if it would help.

Strength, Courage, & Peace

Scott, I have followed your journey and although I know many have been through this and are going through this, it helped, to share. Before sharing, I had not even told good friends. It helps so much to feel the support of others. I had a heart attack in May and Lou was hospitalized 3 times before this last time, in early October. It is so difficult to think of funeral homes and other end-of-life necessities.
Thank you. I’m just now navigating hospice in a long term care setting. Please tell me what I should expect in the way if help. I don’t even know what to ask, sometimes.
