I am dying.

117. I'm a big fan of hospice care and both my parents were lucky enough to be cared for

in their home where they wanted to be until they died.

But it should be at the point where you choose no further intervention. They replace your medical care and interventions designed to restore health and focus on palliative care to keep you comfortable and able to live the rest of your time well.

Mom went quickly (two days after she came home from the hospital following a stroke and heart attack). Dad went almost ten months after entering hospice. We got to be with them and to shower them with love, instead of having them whisked away by hospital staff trying to save their lives past when it was possible for them to enjoy any quality of living and where we couldn't be with them while they worked on them.
