Here’s a good article defining and explaining Palliative Care. We went through palliative care and Hospice with my dad. I had never heard of Palliative Care before that, but they were such a blessing to us. All of the staff were helpful & encouraging. http://budurl.com/PalliativeDef It’s definitely harder to do it at home, but well worth it when it’s possible. I know my parents both appreciated the option.

Encouraging article about how we cope better as we age. I always love to hear positives about aging! http://adjix.com/pyn
