WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"Kudos to all the families [of home hospice patients] who are present day in, day out, and provide care in the home-what a demanding, exhausting, and ultimately rewarding gift to your loved one." "We were told to use packing tape to keep our gowns over our gloves because we don't have enough gloves. . . . My face shield is so scratched and cloudy from being washed over and over, I can barely see out of it." "As a nurse, I, too, have cared for several close family members at home at the end of their lives. The weight of that responsibility is overwhelming at times and adds a different element to the grieving process."
