When I worked in hospice, one of the most basic functions of our work with families was to remind them that NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE PERSON WHO IS DYING.
People die. It's a natural process. Hospice care and intervention are meant to control pain and other adverse symptoms to facilitate a dignified death.
With good hospice support, a death can be every bit as natural and beautiful as a birth.
