Hospice is wonderful!!! They are fantastic for the patient and the family!! I think I'd have gone totally bonkers without the Hospice staff when my mom was dying from melanoma...at the same time Dad was diagnosed with congestive heart disease. After mom passed, the staff stayed in touch for over a year to keep tabs on my dad and the rest of us. They can offer respite care also, which sounds like something you could use...
I will keep you in thoughts and prayers!!
