My Father & Mother-in-law both passed away in hospise. I was angry with God that they had to suffer & die like they did. My anger was getting the best of me - if it wasn't for the hospise nurse who was there for us. Their compasion & devotion to total strangers in need showed me that there is a God in heaven. But it was their love & serenity that gave me a peaceful path to follow away from my self-created road to anger. I thank you for the work you did (do you still do it) and for your courage to act in spite of the business aspect.

Normally, I don't get so down about my work - but last night was one of those nights. Everyone has days where their work just doesn't completely sit right. Thanks again :) Wow, you guys – thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Wish I could give you a big hug and give you some strength, but know that there are many of us who appreciate and are grateful for the job you do.

I've been a paramedic for 22 years, and hospice has been one of the most helpful things to my industry. From the days (and sometimes today is the day) of futile resuscitative efforts to having death handled in an orderly fashion has brought a sense of order to the chaotic time in many peoples lives. I applaud your work. Dealing with death is one of the hardest things for any healthcare professional.

And the work you do. Difficult - yes. But appreciated. I guess I would think the mother and father would have tried to explain about death before it actually happened. Altho, maybe they just weren't ready to - hoping they wouldn't have to... I remember when my aunt died of leukemia - my cousin was about that age 5 - just kept saying, we'll see her tomorrow - which was true - at the funeral, but she couldn't grasp the concept.

Even though the nurses said things that we didnt want to hear, we loved them. And I dont mean luv...or lurve...I mean love. The incredible care and compassion that we felt from our Hospice experience was nothing short of a miracle. Im sure you must have many days like the one above, but know that they are not in vain. Know that the people whose lives you touch are changed, and not thru just the obvious transformation of grief and death, but by the compassion and dedication of the Hospice workers. Thanks for what you do, Liz Lisa,
