I worked with Hospice patients for a number of years. It is both joyful and heart-rending- a true privilege! The family is often as much your charge as the patient. It is a blessing to help ease the transition for all. And yes, dementia cases are often the hardest.
Lately I've got several friends in this same situation, feeling guilty about putting their spouses in care, but also feeling relief. Your words are great and I'll be sharing.

What a powerful, important ministry!
Such a moving and thought provoking post, the type of post that I will replay in my head for a while to come
Thank you so much!
