My dad and BIL were both in hospice care for a short time, we lost them both before Thanksgiving. Hospice workers are wonderful and dedicated to ease the pain at end of life and they do it with respect to the patient. They also offer grief counseling to loved ones left behind.

Hugs and love to you and yours and especially your dad.
