My sister, Jennie, is far from being well and hospice has been called in. It is a wonderful service for it allows the family to watch from close up. Decisions have to be made but those decisions are made with close consultation to all involved. The emotional ties can be less stressful in the negotiations for these decisions. Families, even close ones, can become frayed and dissonant and hard to bear. So we press on and try to put some pieces together and let the others just stand, broken and unforgiving.
I don't know who put this organization together but it is a wonderful help to a frazzled family. One of my friends is going through the same experience and she shouts her praises to the rooftop. So I give thanks this morning for the people who work with the patients at Hospice. They are God's hands on this earth!
