Having seen my father, sister, and cousin cared for by hospices I can testify to the emotions we all feel. On the one hand we hope for miracles and healing. But reality tells us that there comes a time when the doctors can only do so much. The hospice puts everything into perspective. It is a wonderful institution.
Suffering is minimized. Friends and family prepare to say farewell. Regardless of ones religion it is a time for memory and faith.
