It is my hope and prayer this book will teach, encourage, and empower you and your loved one. It is a journey that requires the knowledge in this book to understand what hospice services are available to help care for you as well as your loved one. It is a journey that will be one free from pain for as long as possible. One hour at a time, one minute at a time, one second at a time, each day at a time for the rest of your life on earth.
