Frannie, I am so sorry for the pain and heartache you are facing. Hospice has my deepest respect. Most of the people who are involved have been in your shoes. Their words are so helpful being based in experience. It helps to not feel so alone and when you have no idea what to do next, they will. You will be in my thoughts.

Blessings and Love to you Fran, I know that what you're going through is incredibly rough, but Hospice is the place to be at this point. The people have always been amazing to me and very sensitive and active in keeping the comfort levels up and spirits strong. Don't hesitate to ask them for help or support. It's why they're there.
Keeping you and Country in my heart.

Dear Frannie,
I too am sorry that this is going on but as others have shared this will be a good thing at this point. I am continuing to keep you and your husband in prayer, that the Lord would heal, strengthen and comfort you both. I wish that I lived closer so I could pray for you in person, give you a huge hug and help out in any way I could. I am praying that the Lord would bring someone alongside you to be there for you.

Fran,
I'm almost positive you will come to know how wonderful hospice is. I too am using hospice services (about 4 months now) and I am so glad I called them...they are absolutely wonderful for support not only for the one who needs it but for the caregiver as well! Bless you both...and heartfelt prayers going up for both of you.

Frannie and Country you are both in my prayers.
As a nurse who has done hospice I can say it will be a blessing for both of you. The ultimate goal is to keep the patient as comfortable as possible and let them retain their dignity. The support and love by hospice caregivers is priceless. Lean on them whenever you need to. That is what they are there for.
God's Mercy, Comfort and Peace as you walk this difficult road.
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,

Dear Frannie and Country-
I am keeping you in my prayers and close to my heart!!
And, I agree with the others here Hospice is AMAZING! In my experience they are so caring and comforting at this time. I am sure they will keep you both as comfortable as possible and explain the journey to you both also. They were so helpful to me when my friend Pat was there 2 years ago.
Love to you both,
Lori

Prayers are with you, Frannie, with Country and those you love. Hospice is amazing, staffed with caring people who have helped many through this last journey.
My neighbor's father spent his end days in a wonderful Hospice program, surrounded by loving family. He took great joy in planning his own Celebration of Life, rather than a funeral. His pastor was involved in the plan and played right along. Earl had asked him to offer up a toast so the hid a bottle of beer in the pulpit and held it high in a salute "I won't drink it here, but this is for Earl." The closing music was "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". And no usual funeral lunch, it was brats, sauerkraut, German potato salad and German Chocolate Cake.

Frannie - my prayers for you and your husband. Hospice is wonderful. We had it for my mother-in-law, and everyting I know about it is superb. My heart goes out to you and the challenges before you. God will provide, so lean into Him for strength.

Oh Frannie, I think Hospice will be a blessing for him and hopefully for you too. Sorry to hear it has come to this but just think he will be held in highest regard by the nursing staff. Blessings to both of you. MaryBeth
