Our decision to put my mother into hospice was made alot simpler by opening our eyes to the many pros and few cons of the hospice option.

Ask the questions they suggest in this book and you will find the answers you are looking for and know with certainty that this either is or isn't the option for you or your loved on.

As a physician, I've had more experience with impending death than I care to remember. I have had to help many distraught patients make end of life decisions, but not until my own wife of 48 years was terminally ill with cancer, did I fully realize the difficulty of making the final end of life decisions.

Thankfully the remarkable people that work in Hospice Care made these difficult days more tolerable for both my wife and me.

I wrote this book to help others in this difficult life cycle period.

How does one decide on a hospice?
Is hospice for you?
Home hospice or a hospice facility?
What should you expect of your hospice?
What questions should you ask?
What will hospice Not Do?

These are but a few of the topics this book will help you with.

Our decision to put my mother into hospice was made alot simpler by doing some research into the pros and cons of the hospice experience. Hospice has many pros and relatively few cons and it is a valid option to explore. There are different types of hospices - I didn't know that before I read the book.

The Dr's in the book suggest certain questions be asked and if you ask them you will get the answers you need such that you can make an informed decision.
