Hospice with mom: It's different each time. This is what happened.

Eldercare Success

Hospice Round #3: What's different this time?

Before we jump into this episode of Eldercare Success, I'd like to share that I've been going through a bit of a rough patch. For every faithful follower and listener to this show, I'd like to give you my sincere thanks. Just knowing you're out there listening, doing well—or trying to—gives me the strength to continue moving forward, too.

Just because someone is known as an "expert" caregiver and care advisor doesn't mean that every day is sunny for us. But, instinctively, I think you know that.

In any case, thank you for being at my side as a listener, subscriber, and someone who cares enough to share this show with others who need support in caring for their parents or a loved one.

Sometimes, we forget to say thank you, and I hope saying so to someone you know makes your day just a little better, as saying thank you to you here has made mine.
