Hospice helps people re-define hope when traditional medicine says "there is nothing left to do." Everyone is going to die, so I ask this: Would you have surgery without anesthesia? No; then why would you die without hospice?

Hospice helped my mother a great deal in her final 6months in life. She was assigned one nurse who got to know my mom and was amazing. They were very helpful and we all appreciated what they did. They do not drug people up so they on on schedule. They help to manage pain.

Hope? Why does your poster say hope in it? What hope do you promote if you don't poromote cures? All you do is drug people up so they die on schedule! My grandma lived for a year after she was given "5 days". My uncle was given 6 months 13 years ago and he's still alive!  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TERMINAL ILLNESS AND HOSPICE PROMOTES DEATH AND IS THE MOST MORBID DISGUSTING "CARE" YOU CAN GIVE!!!
