I learned she was in hospice and the family planned to go see her tomorrow, I tried to reschedule an appointment so I could go with everyone else, and then less than an hour later I learned she had died.<br /><br />Hospice means you're going to die (it's care specifically designed for those who are terminally ill/injured/whatever else could be terminal) but it doesn't mean "You're going to die now." People can be in hospice for a good long time.<br /><br />I didn't have time to come to terms with, "My grandmother is dying," before it became, "My grandmother is dead."chris the cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872875475212333027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-83056057405803184882012-12-27T20:44:09.920-05:002012-12-27T20:44:09.920-05:00Oh no.
