"Perhaps we need to create a new narrative that honors the graceful retreat as much as it celebrates the fight. To change regulations, like hospice reimbursement rules that now require a sharp break between treatment and letting go. To train doctors, nurses, clergy and ourselves to recognize that the end is as much a part of life as the beginning so that we can see it, not as an abrupt break, but as a gentle glide."
Half a million dollars couldn’t buy my husband his life. But that didn’t stop me from trying. - The Washington Post
You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here. This is a safe place to share stories of love and loss, devastating grief, exhausting care-giving, memorials, advanced directives, mourning, hope, and despair. We want to hear about about what you wish you had known or done differently, what you wish those around you had known or done differently, and what went right. We will never tell you to move on or find closure. "What cannot be said will be wept." Sappho
