I've done homecare nursing with patients who had hospice involved. Plus I've had patients in nursing homes who got hospice services. I wish I had kept a journal. They basically push morphine. That has its place. I'll see what happens.
I remembered you were a nurse - just concerned bc this is someone very close to your heart vs someone that you can hold at a distance from your heart when it becomes required much easier..
