I'm sending lots of hugs to you, and your family. First, I say thank God for Hospice. My wonderful sister had her last days with us with Hospice help. It's so sad to lose our family members, but with Hospice help, we can share last days while our loved ones are comfortable at home. Remember the wonderful times.
