That's probably where my 'different' viewpoint comes from. The visiting nurse agency that I worked with and the one that my Mom was handled by also worked with the local hospice program. At the time, the hospice was 'home hospice' so patients were involved with a doctor and nurses who DID provide 'home' health care.

My ex-husband was in hospital hospice -- I did see the difference. Good support from the doctors and nurses (actually excellent support) but different than 'home' care.

You made a lot of sense. You actually got me to see your viewpoint It *IS* your decision to make.

I guess a lot of my thinking is colored by my history. Because of my brother's suicide and because of my own attempts, I feel that ending a life is 'not right'. But, actually, realistically, I shouldn't be forcing my beliefs and values onto you. Right??!! Thanks for the insight
