Hospice: When & How

This learning module was inspired by the Facebook Caregiver Connection Community Member Deb B. who had anxiety about calling hospice for her ailing husband:

“I don’t mind taking care of him, but I can’t handle sitting in house doing nothing but watch him waste away. I try to do things outside while it is summer. It’s hard for him that he can’t come outside and help me. I feel so guilty being outside instead of right with him, but I need it for me. When it gets to that time, I won’t leave his side. But I need to get things done here also. Am I being mean, or selfish, or uncaring? I just don’t know what to do.” – Deb B.
