The opening paragraph “For patients . . . . giving up or hastening death” is something I understand many people think but families who have experienced hospice care would likely tell you it is a gift. The person needing care is prioritized and cared for by capable, loving caregivers. And family members benefit as well. I know my mother appreciated that her children, though grown adults, had a caring, knowledgable resource to turn to for counsel. That is a comfort. I urge everyone to support hospice services and turn to them when that type of support is needed.
