Welcome back!

We were able to see Jess yesterday. We were there for a number of hous. He did not look like the man we are used to seeing anymore.

The VA hospice unit where he is staying is doing what they can to help him be comfortable. Well, as comfortable as is possible when someone is dying. They do not have an abundance of workers to help. They could also use donations of items for the patients to have things to do.

It hurts to see someone that we care about slowly dying, with no way to make them better. Jess goes by a lot of names. Some of his names are nick-names. When it comes right down to it, he is just ‘Bro” to my husband and myself. If you know someone who is in hospice, or you have puzzles, craft items, books, and other things, they could all be used to help ease the time of those who are sick.

If you know someone who needs hospice care, there is an organization that can help.
Hospice Net.org is one such organization.

Remember that people in hospice are still people, with feelings, emotions. They feel pain, get scared, get bored just like we all do.
