Comment on Hospice for Mom? by Denise

I feel compelled to reach out to you, Linda. I first became acquainted with your work when I researched the possibility of becoming a professional fiduciary. I had just lost my job of six years; my father had passed away and, within 3-weeks of his passing I learned my mother had terminal cancer. She immediately moved into my home with a referral to Hospice. My involvement with Hospice changed my life and blessed us with another three-weeks of precious memory-making and a poignant, peaceful farewell. Within six-weeks I lost both parents, my job and had no siblings. I am a single-parent of a beautiful 23-year-old daughter with multiple disabilities, the “single” part occupying the last 13-years. Only my faith sustained me. Somehow, it is important for me to share with you that I found my purpose through these life-changing events. I received volunteer training at Hospice East Bay and served at the Bruns House. I’ve developed a personal card entitled “Advocacy With Integrity” -Respect, Dignity, Compassion, a representation of who I am and what I am about. My fierce passion is for the elderly and the disabled. And, finally, I now work for Eldercare Services as a caregiver. I have never known such peace. You are a woman of many gifts and you have touched countless lives in ways you can’t possibly imagine. Know there are those of us who have walked this path; yet no two journeys are alike. I am certain I am not alone in reaching out to you in spirit, praying for your strength, wisdom and discernment, but most of all, for each step to be taken with exquisite purpose. Blessings to you and your family.

Part of what makes life so precious is the fact that it is finite. And, that hurts sometimes. Blessings on you and your family to rise to your mother’s need for hospice, even when it reminds you that there will come a time when there are no new memories to make. Hospice does not consign her to death, nor will it make her passing happen sooner. That can be hard to remember. It does not mean giving up hope. Releasing hope for a cure, yes. But hospice can help you retain hope in the form of making each day/week/month the highest quality it can be, focusing on a soft landing and creating the sweetest memories possible in this last chapter of your time together.

Will be thinking of you and your family on this journey, Linda. You give so much to others. Now it is your time to receive support for your own family’s passage. Virtual hugs to you.

Hi Kim,

I’m sorry I didn’t get this message until now. I hope you were able to get the information you needed. This was at the Rotary Club of Concord and the number listed was the number they gave me for their information.
