Talking About Hospice
The book Hospice Isn't a Place includes 28 questions to help get the hospice conversation started with your friends and loved ones.
Here are a few examples:
- Do you remember the first funeral you attended? Who died? How did you find out? Who accompanied you to the funeral?
- Family relationships are complex. Which of your family relationships to you view as solid? Which tend to be more strained?
- Are some ways of dying more acceptable than others?
- Are there people you would like to have beside you when you die? What would you say to them.
- Before he died, Dad said he "had to go. " He said he had "things to do." What do you think happens after death, if anything?
"HOSPICE isn't a PLACE...
It's PEOPLE"
What does THAT mean?
