[quote:Anonymous Coward 77846190:MV80MTEzNDc5Xzc0NzM3NzUwXzYwQkY5RTY2] Fred, there is so much more to you than the dying person. You are also still the living person with the fears we all have when it comes to the end. No one has the answers. How about sharing some of the wisdom you have gained through life? How about the love you have in your life, how about telling us about the pitfalls to avoid to live a better life? There is so much more to you than the dying person. We can only feel for you and try to identify as much as we can. We do try. I cried and prayed for you last night. I want to know what makes Fred tick. I want to learn Fred's wisdom. He is a sharp mind with a great deal to offer. You don't have to share your phone number or social security number. Share something that Fred learned in life. That is the sum of all life. The experiences that made Fred a better person. No one can help you die a fast and peaceful death except your healthcare folks. We will be there for you, however. Being in the same shoes, I'm done worrying. I want to learn from people like you. I want to find a feeling of inner peace. Have you? Tell us how you gained that. That is what is important. You have gained my heart. Not an easy thing to do. [/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.
