I have been a hospice nurse for 34 years (now a volunteer). I have cared for 100's of dying people and here is what I have learned: There is a serious problem in end of life care that needs to be fixed. Misconceptions, misinformation and ignorance are causing unnecessary suffering, both physically and emotionally.
I give presentations in The Villages to church groups, book clubs, neighborhoods, and clubs looking for a speaker. I do not charge a fee. Those attending will be educated and empowered to take control of crucial decisions that are often left to medical and bureaucratic systems that have little understanding of their real needs, It will bring assurance that the end of life does not have to be a physically painful, frightening , or isolated experience.It will give them hope that their end of life doesn't have to be a miserable, sometimes terror filled experience as so often happens when people aren't informed. Education is the key and the time to learn is now.
