[quote:Noslot:MV80MTEzNDc5Xzc0NjQzODc1X0RGQTFEN0I0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 77846190:MV80MTEzNDc5Xzc0NjQzNDg2X0M4MkE2M0E1] No one is ever truly ready. [/quote] I'm not. Why? Because I can't trust the world to protect and take care of my wife. Of course the kids will always say in different ways how they will do this. I was young once and I thought I knew something too. I'm not afraid to die and I know I am going to die from my disease unless death makes other choices and if death were merciful it would. And then there is the bit about my Christian beliefs and feeling a little guilty for going to a better place. Now having said this I will not discuss my beliefs or religion or faith or anything of that nature. I only shared it because its a part of my answer. I am in a good place with my death. Sounds really odd to read that, but that's how I'm feeling at the moment. That old adage of surrender to win comes to mind. [/quote]
Original Message
I am a in-home hospice patient and this is an experiment. I’m seeking a conversation with someone currently admitted into any kind of hospice program as we live out this journey.
Disclaimer
The only thing I’m an expert about is my experience and frankly the same goes for everyone else.
Guidelines
I will use whatever power I have in my role as the benevolent dictator of this thread. There will be no arguments about God, medical politics, ethics or anything else that annoys me. This is the part of being a benevolent dictator that is appealing!
Before you Post
This thread isn’t about your Aunt Mary’s or Gramps experiences or to vent your opinions about hospice, death, dying, politics of dying, medical monsters or anything else. Its about your personal experience as a real time, real world, real person hospice patient. Having said this others are welcome to ask appropriate questions, but any answer I may provide is just my personal opinion based upon my experience. This is GLP and I know a certain chaos must prevail to keep the energy here alive.
