I've not ever worked hospice side before, opting instead for the EMS side of medicine, but I know that my Mom has. In fact, it's one of the reasons she started doing Reiki and massage as well, if I'm not mistaken. If you want to talk to her about it, I know she'd be more than willing to give you some inside info.

You would be ace for it. You are one of the strongest people I know, and people would benefit so much just by having you around. And I know you would gain tremendously as well. Hospice, to me, is not about the tragedy of death. It's all about understanding and not being so afraid, spending time to help your loved one pass, to instill dignity in a situation that deserves it. The single experience I had made such a difference in my life.
I hope you do it. I know it would help you heal, as well as give you an outlet for that tremendous reservoir of love and compassion you have.
