He has never moved out of the house and now on hospice. I am ok with that but not ok with his recent behavior towards me. He has gotten mean to me and the nurses and drs say this is normal for someone that is dying. I hate even saying those words. I don't know how to handle this from being the gentle person he was. I guess I just needed to vent a little bit. I am so stressed out though and I have no other outlet for support. I really just need to get away alone and cry I think. I dunno. They offer 5 days a month at the hospice house for respite which we just did but i was home and the phone was constantly ringing.
Have any of you gone thru hospice experience with a spouse? any ideas?

I am so sorry. My grandma was in hospice and it was tough as we were close. Hospice usually employs empathic staff so help people through. My BF is hospice RN

My late stepdad had visiting nurses, his final months. Had to have special air freshener from the hospital because of his illness and deterioration. He'd sometimes snap a few angry words, yet was quick to retract, apologize and explain the pain he was in. He had morphine, it was more hallucinations that we were all dealing with. My mother, myself, my grandmother played a role in caregiving. He was a large man, and it wasn't easy with dressings and bedding. His mom was staying there too, along this with early onset dementia.
Have the doctors tried celexa or similar? Extending my sympathy ((((gentle hugs))))
