Do you have a loved one who is entering his/her final stage and life and want to know more about what changes to expect?
Do you want to know more about how you can help your beloved prepare for his/her death? Or how to help a family member cope?
Do you want more information about when the right time is to discontinue a feeding tube or to discontinue life-support?
Do you wonder how you can set up care at home so your beloved can die in familiar surroundings?
Do you want to know what you can expect as cancer or cardiac disease or diabetes or respiratory disease or other conditions progress?
Do you wonder about what to say to children about death?
Well all these questions (and so many more) are answered at Canada’s virtual hospice site. —A bilingual palliative care network offering end-of-life support and information! And did you know it’s been operational for five years (since Feb 6, 2004)?
Within this site there’s a place for you to share your story about life-threatening illness, loss or grief…a place to read other people’s stories…a place to ask questions (about loss and life-threatening illness) of professionals…an online research survey that studies people from rural communities…and a place where experts contribute articles on advances in palliative care.
This site is an unbelievably fantastic place!
You can also click on a map of Canada to find resources, programs and services in your area! How cool is that!
