I don't know what I would have done without them. There is more to dying than just go home and die. Pain management is the utmost important, and that requires licensed people.
After this experience I plan to open a room at my house for terminal homeless Vets. Volunteer. One at a time. If I can mentally and physically do it. But you still need support from professional hospice.
