re: #562 reine.de.tout

I agree with you. And I placed my father in hospice care.
And my Church had no problem with it.

I wasn’t sure whether you were taking a specific swipe at the Catholic church there or just generally anyone who won’t consider hospice care.

Yikes! No swipes! I swear!

My father and my aunt died in hospice care. I was there the night of their deaths. It was both my greatest and worst experience.

Upthread the “evils of Mother Theresa” were discussed, one of which mentioned that she withheld antibiotics from a dying child and cared more about sending the soul to God than allowing him to live. To throw that out there as truth, not knowing the situation at all, particularly the child, is irresponsible. From my own experience, when you’re so close to death, they just make you feel comfortable. Nothing to make you better. That’s what hospice is all about.
