 My mom was a really quiet, introverted person. She loved her family and close friends to be around and she laughed very easily. When my mom became ill over a year ago and it was a cancer diagnosis, actually one of the very first things I thought of was that someday we would need hospice involved. I didn't even have to think about the fact that we would want them involved. My sisters and I are not medically inclined and I just knew that we were going to need that support. So that was always something that from the time that cancer was even on the radar, I knew that we would at some point want hospice involved. The person who came in and did the interview for Mid-Michigan really seemed to know a lot more about what we were dealing with, my mom's condition, the nurses who came were just amazing. I can't say enough about the role they played in the comfort for my siblings and for mom. Every single one who entered that home were very, very special. They just had something about them that was extraordinary. I don't know if they realized the impact that they had for this family and it was short. I'm actually thankful that my mom didn't have to suffer a really long time, but I'll never forget those faces that walked in there and did what they did. I would say that if anyone is hesitant to pursue hospice care first of all, find out all that you can and talk with the people because I think if they met with any of you and realized what it is that you have to offer, I don't think they would hesitate anymore.
