At some point you may need to know about hospice care for you or a loved one. Although I haven't watched it yet, I've read this show is a great way to initiate dialogue on end-of-life care...
"Consider the Conversation: A documentary on a taboo subject"
You can check

Our friend Loretta, a hospice advocate, is interviewed in it.
Sweet picture of Allegra.
ReplyDeleteI loved every comment Loretta made on your blog along Allegra's journey~she seemed like the perfect hospice nurse.
