As a nurse of 35+years, I never worked in hospice or end-of-life care, and when my husband reached that stage, I quickly realized how much guidance and support our family needed. Experience, and especially Jen, provided steady reassurance, compassion, and invaluable knowledge during an incredibly difficult time.
Jen helped guide us through what to expect, answered questions with patience and clarity, and supported thoughtful decision-making focused on comfort and dignity. Working together with our family and our hospice team, experience played an important role in making it possible for my husband to remain at home.
He passed peacefully in our home, surrounded by family—an outcome that brought all of us a deep sense of peace.
I am deeply grateful for the role experience by Jen played as part of that collaborative circle of care.
A very bitter sweet experience.
