Dear Editor,Death can be a scary process for a lot of people, but the care, comfort and dignity that hospice offers makes the transition between life and death a peaceful one, for both patients and families.When medical treatments can add no more days to your life, hospice can add quality and comfort. Hospice is based on the belief that every life matters, so it takes a great deal to give this unparalleled care. Hospice care helps the passage to the end to be a gentler process by helping people stay in their homes instead of spending their last days in a hospital.
