We would like to dispel a few misperceptions about hospice care that we hear regularly.

Myth 4: Choosing hospice means you are giving up on life
Truth: It means prioritization of one’s wishes and comfort
Hospice provides peace and relief allowing families to enjoy time together as comfortably as possible. We hope readers will find this informative and comforting. Hospice care focuses on your loved one; it’s real care that concentrates on enabling them to live life as fully as they can while they’re coping with illness. Hospice isn’t giving up, it just prioritizes one’s wishes and comfort. https://bit.ly/3ATI3hB
