The My Mother is poor and dying thread

Hospice care is just all around a terrible situation. I think we can all agree with that. I can't even fathom the type of person who can do it for a long time. That being said, we added a local charity hospice to our list of charities we support after our experience with granny. That particular hospice basically tells you to pay what you can, but they are strict on who they will take. I mean, you have to be circling the drain. In Granny's case, I'm not even sure they got any money because she died within a week or 2, and her Social security check went to the nursing home she had been at.

Fucking hospice care. I wish I didn't even know about it, but I wouldn't want to live in a world where it didn't exist.
