    Heather, in Hospice you would be known as an Angel of Mercy. I just lost my wife of 35 1/2 yrs to cancer and what Hopice did for her I could never have done. There was one time she came out of the sadded state, open her eyes and was groaning in pain. That was the last time I seen her with her eyes open. I pleaded with the nurse not to push the button, that I just wanted to enjoy being with her for that moment. The nurse told me,"John, if I don't push the button, she's going to be boncing off the walls with pain. It was so hard to say go ahead." With in the next few days, my wife past on.
    Heather, I comment your services to those of the needy, may God richly bless you. Fierojohn

    Hospice was a wonderful experience for my family as we struggled with the impending death of my Mother. You are angels! I am so very sorry for the personal loss you have suffered. Has your experience with hospice made coping easier? ... or maybe harder.

    HI Heather, I too have just recently found this site, actually I am way-new. I found it just a week ago. I think you will find a lot of very caring peeps here. Ones who will listen, offer advice, and others who are in need of advice. In addition to also being new, I too have lost a daughter, yes I'm a widow, then lost my mom, and then my dad; all in a matte of 10 years. I'm still working on healing. Seems to be a very slow process. I don't work for hospice, however I am a CNA and the last 3 patients I've cared for have died. And being there and bringing what lil' happiness I could give them was very rewarding. However, though I really like the work, I have gotten out of it and moved on to other things. I have just gotten to a point where I'm tired of helping people to their final resting place. I decided I needed time to work on me, instead of putting it off like I have been. I am very sorry for your losses, I know the on-going pain that your in. Find a way to work through it. Don't avoid the pain, the anger, etc... work through it completely so you can move on in your life. You can find happiness again. Good luck, and again welcome. I think you have found yourself a home.

    Hi heather, I'm so sorry for your loss, that you have the strength to carry on, and to cope with the labours and heartbreaks of hospice work is very impressive. I hope you find this somewhere congenial & make good friends - i've only been here a few weeks but it seems great to me

    hi Heather! I stumbled onto the Experience also! I find that it is a very good site, as there are Mature sites all the way to immature, but here you can choose your groups and friends, so I'm very pleased with it so far. I'm sorry about your loss! Maybe it's a story you'd like to share?? Or you could pose a question to members and maybe get some answers, or even help someone else??

    Heather,



    I'm very sorry for the loss of your husband and daugther. I think you'll find some good people here to share experiences and ideas with.



    Regarding hospice... ... you people really are angels. My mom died two years ago, and she had the most wonderful hospice workers taking care of her as she transcended into the hell that is breast cancer spreading to the brain.



    I am so glad there is such thing as hospice care, and that hospice workers provide professional yet kind and patient service to the dying and their families. Because of the hospice care, my mom was able to die with some dignity in her home, surrounded by family - and in some degree of peace.



    Thank you to all the hospice workers in the world.

      Thank you, TheRide, and i want to offer my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. Sadly, most of the patients we try to comfort are victims of cancer. I believe that these people deserve the dignity and opportunity to leave this world at home, not some cold institution. I go on too much sometimes. I am glad that hospice has been a comfort to you and your family :)

    It's so nice to meet you!! :)) I'm pretty new to EP. I joined in August...just happened to stumble across it. I think you're going to like it here. EP has some really genuine people, some pervs, and those with very interesting lifestyles. Just be careful who you add as friends. Take care and I wish you all the best.
