My grandmother died of lung cancer in a Hospice. It seemed so sterile and hospital-like - not the kind of place in which you'd expect someone to be content with spending their last days. But oddly, my grandmother was happy there. They took good care to make sure she was comfortable

i very much appreciate it. and your aim name...priceless! :)
it sounds like your grandmother had it much better than my grandfather. last weekend we saw a bump on his forehead, and he hopelessly told us how his aid "accidentally" rolled him into the concrete wall as she was trying (by herself) to haul him onto his bed from his wheel chair. apparently she offered a very sarcastic apology as he told her that he was in pain. it took everything in me not to tear her face off when i saw her later in the visit when her demeanor came off so careless. his last hospital nearly put him into a coma because they weren't giving him his diabetes medicine. it's just a nightmare, and i feel helpless living across state, only seeing him every few weeks if i'm lucky.
we all must deal with it at some point. i remember when my grandmother passed away from uterine cancer and how awful that was...it just doesn't get better.
