end of life care

After spending hours at the bedside of my precious Grandma Daisy, I stepped out of her room to make a brief telephone call. At that moment, Grandma Daisy died. When I began working in hospice, I witnessed similar experiences.
I have witnessed many families struggling with how to be during the last hours of a person's life. I have been struck by the lack of knowledge and the misconceptions that people have about the needs of a person approaching the end.
