I am my Mom’s caregiver and I did not bring this up to her our Pastor did. I fully support her decision but my family said she is committing suicide. They also told me that this murder. I am so hurt and now I don’t know what to do.
There is still a lot misinformation and ignorance about hospice. Hospice is simply another layer of care for terminally ill people. Hospice does not kill people but it does make the end of life bearable. It’s not uncommon for patients to improve and graduate from hospice. Your family members need to exercise a few brain cells and read up on the matter.
Your siblings clearly have never requested, or been given, an explanation of the role of hospice services, who gets the services, and what is offered by different types and levels of hospice. If I were in your situation, I would remain totally silent as your response to their absurd accusations, and if at all possible, you could request the Pastor to contact them and explain the reason for his or her suggestion to your mom. Hoping you have a very VERY SMALL FAMILY if they’re all as unhelpful as the group who has harassed you. I lost an otherwise valuable year of my life because of the assault on me from a very damaged relative, and I feel very comfortable telling you NOT to be hurt by comments that are not only not true but are in fact, total nonsense, because I’ve learned by bitter experience that one should never expect anything from a pig but a grunt.
I agree with Ann. Your siblings are horrible to make such ridiculous accusations. Please OP do not take their cruel and very ignorant words to heart.
Ann said what needed to be said about hospice, I’ll just add that they will also comfort and support YOU along with your mother who has requested their services.
