“My father's peaceful death came as a result of his family's commitment to see that he was well-cared for at home. The hospice professionals were with us every step of the way and helped us cope.

My sister and I devoted ourselves to his care for those 29 days, but neither of us has any regrets. We know we did the right thing.”
