Lets have the conversation about end of life. As a hospice RN I would like to share what hospice means to patients, families, and healthcare workers. I have experienced wonderful highs and extreme lows when it comes to the care of our dying. What has always impressed me is the strength of the human spirit and those surrounding the one that passing. The families are the true heroes and we hopefully make this journey easier. Love to you all who carry the burden of grief, ones who try to help others go through it, and the amazing recovery that goes along with it. Let me preface that I am not a physician and I will not advise on that level. I will, however, educate on end of life signs and symptoms and commonly used interventions to assist with complications.
