15. Both of my parents-one in November, one almost 2 years ago.
It was the best possible end. They were able to be where they wanted to be, cared for gently and lovingly, and allowed to die in no pain, in privacy, with family next to them.

Afterwards, the hospice counselors were very supportive, esp. to my dad, who suffered deep depression after losing his wife of 51 years.

I have nothing but praise and gratitude to hospice- this in Ohio where I grew up.
