FOCUS: Learn how home hospice care is a blessing
By Andy Brack | Part of life is death. It can be painful, agonizing, emotional, numbing and scarring – for patients and surviving family members and friends. Fortunately, there are good people who provide trained care to help make the passing of someone easier for the person who is departing and for those preparing to mourn.

“We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.”
– German-born Rocket Scientist Wernher von Braun (1913-1977).
