When I worked for Hospice, death was a common thing. I was the one who came out in the middle of the night to pronounce someone's loved one as deceased. I comforted them, made phone calls if needed and contacted the funeral home to pick up the body to relieve this stress from the family. Hospice is a god send. For those of you who are reading this, if you have been following my blog you probably read my post about my uncle dying from prostate cancer. Last night he left this earth to go home to Jesus. Knowing this was going to happen and even being quite acquainted to death, it is still heart breaking. The Hospice nurse was there doing the things I once did because none of us would have been able to. The good thing about Hospice is, their services dont stop when the patient dies. They continue to support the family. They are here to serve not only the patient but also the caregiver. Hats off to all the Hospice organizations around the world. My family thanks you for helping us through this transition.
