It's a powerful feeling to have options at the end of life, to be able to make our own decisions, to know that our personal wishes will be carried out. In addition, studies show that early hospice care can improve quality and quantity of life: In a study, patients who chose hospice care lived an average of 29 days longer than similar patients who did not choose hospice. |
