37. Both my father and close friend
Edited on Thu Mar-31-05 11:15 PM by ultraist
When my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the doctor recommended we contact Hospice. My sister and I were in our early twenties and we would not have gotten through the experience or had a loving and dignified death process for my father, had we not had Hospice. They were very honest, compassionate and supportive.

Hospice was also wonderful to my close friend who died 2 years ago of cancer. I was so grateful for everything they did for her as well as the support they offered to her mother, her sister, and me.

ALL of the Hospice workers I have met through those experiences and in other settings were amazingly giving, loving and selfless people.
