That’s hard, meara. But Hospice people in my experience are wonderful. They did wonders for my mom’s quality of life (which seems odd to say, considering) when her cancer got bad.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Yeah basically everyone ever says “we should’ve called hospice sooner” and nobody says “we called too soon” so…yeah.

I'm still angry at the doctor who finally said my mother should be in hospice -- 6 days before she died.
To be fair, mom was a poor candidate for hospice anyway.
Hugs to you, meara. Hope things go as smoothly as they can.

Hospice was so amazing for my grandfather.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I've only experienced good hospice situations although I feel we should have called for my Dad much earlier than we did. It wasn't my call to make though and I accepted that even at the time.
meara, I wish you more quality time and some peace. You are in such a difficult place.

So much this. I don't know what to say besides that I am thinking about you and sending you so much love.

Our wings are not tired.
Yesterday was my last night in Otter Lake so of course we went to the movies. There was one other family in the theater with us! Tiny family owned theater which the local population supports as much as possible. The town even had a nice fundraising effort during Covid when they had to close the doors. Anyway, we went to see The Little Mermaid. It was quite delightful and a good time was had by all. My (51 yo) nephew sang to us on the way to and from, as well as during. The original was his favorite. He also declared it a delight.
ION, the air is worse than ever this morning. Big orange sunrise and a terrible haze. I don't know how people in more frequent fire areas manage. My throat is sore. Yuck. I'll be ready to get on the plane later.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Weirdly, the sky is blue here this morning.
