Jon: Using hospice

Jon ’s dad was 88. “My dad died at home. Hospice came every day. The aide was very kind to him, and she bathed him. I think he was comfortable. When he died, someone came out and helped me handle things.”

“Dad had to be sure he wanted hospice. He was. And I wanted to support his wishes.”
