Our response -- who better than hospice to support a family in crisis and
conflict over end-of-life decision making? Who better than hospice to provide
comfort care to Terri and her family? Who better to provide support for a
community, a nation, torn apart by differing beliefs about this tragic
situation? Who better than hospice to educate people about the body's
response to withdrawal of life-sustaining medical treatments? Who better than
hospice to minister to Terri, her family, her caregivers and all of us as we
experience anticipatory grief over the loss of Terri's life?
Hospice's role is always, to honor, to the extent possible, the patient's
and families' wishes.
