Hospice...Stone


Hospice.
A word that conjures fear.
An answer 
Finally given,
Not the one you want to hear.

Hospice.
It's all done, the decisions made,
And everyone's
agreed
But I'm getting more afraid.

Hospice.
I want you to be out of pain
I'm feeling so
Conflicted,
I know I'll want you near again.

Hospice.
They'll watch you and they'll fuss,
You'll have
Your dignity
Until you finally leave us.

Hospice.
I miss you already, Mom. 
I will miss you always.
I love you.

I will always love you.

  1. The day my dad went into hospice was one of the most heartbreaking of my life. That word carries so much weight. Just savor each moment you get to hold her hand and be with her. You are in my prayers always, my dear friend. I love you!

  2. The day she went into hospice we found out she only had a few days left. It has been one of the hardest days ever. Thank you, my friend. I love you.
