Caring for aging parents is a journey filled with both profound love and immense challenges. I had the absolute honor of helping my mother transition through Hospice in my home. I found it to be very rewarding and the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I have seen loss with my brother and several friends who have passed, but being the primary caregiver for my mother was different. Years of watching her decline, which then became evident, we were getting closer to the end, and needed more care. I was honored to be in a situation to be able to care for her in my home and provide her with dignity, and honor her wishes with her final weeks and days.
