  1. I have done hospice work, visiting the dying because that is a very lonely time in a person’s life, nobody goes near them. Their families (if they have any) are waiting for them to die for their property and to be rid of the responsibility. I have had family members complain to me the patient was taking too long to die……….
    Many of them wonderful people….some rich memories have been visiting with them, learning about their lives and history, making them laugh, it gave me great feelings. Now I am too sick to visit them any longer, it is my turn to exit, and I wish I had some friends brave and caring enough to make my passage easier.
    But, times are difficult, and all people care about is their own survival, not the ones of the sick and dying. People who turn off the power in such a situation………I only hope there is a special hell of lonliness for them………damn them all.
