Hospice Now

Is it reasonable to assume that most adults have a general understanding of hospice care? I received an odd comment/remark after I informed a person that my mom had just been released from the hospital and hospice care had been assigned to her at home. Their response was, “Well, at least you have help now.” I was taken aback and replied with a half-chuckle yes finally. WTF seriously! I was mad at myself for not replying with, " Well, she's dying so!

My spouse and I have been my mom's FT caregivers since we all moved in together over five years ago. Well really ever since my dad passed over twenty years ago. I handled her home repairs, doctor's appointments, groceries, everything etc.

So do you find her response odd?

I'm still numb and trying to wrap my head around the fact that nothing more can be done to heal my mom. It's hard because she is cohearant and communative.
