If Our World Were Named Hospice -
Dec, 2015
A patient's family sent us this letter after their loved one died:
To all of you, who have truly been selfless heroes:
What you have done and what you continue to do has had such an impact on so many people; not just those to whom you gave direct care.
I have never met more caring, selfless, kind, ready-to-hug people than you. Every month since the loss of my Dad, my Mom and I have received letters of love and an invitation to work through our grief. You wrote as though you knew him personally, and you know what we need to hear now. We read your letters with tear-stained eyes and thank God for people like you.
We are all destined to leave this world someday. I wonder why this world wasn't named "Hospice" instead of "Earth."
If it were named Hospice, we would have loved one another regardless of religion, race, ethnic background, financial background, or gender. We would be kind and compassionate. There would be no wars. There would be no inequality.
We would live to provide care and support for one another as we travel through life.
You, dear folks, are the prime example of the Golden Rule. We will never forget you, and we can't thank you enough for all you have done for my father while he was alive, and what you continue to do for the family since his death.
God bless you all.
