"When there is nothing more that the medical field can do, what is your goal for your loved one? Is your goal to provide a pain-free existence and a loving environment? Or is being awake, but in pain, more important to you?...To make life choices and to have these choices honored is an expression of a good life lived. To have the opportunity to die at home is an experience few have." (SUPPORTIVE VOICE) The author presents the story of her husband's illness and death and discusses the care and comfort they received from hospice.
