My poor coworker. I got a message on my answering machine from a coworker asking me to come in early tomorrow. I usually get these calls from my manager with changes in schedule. I emailed her asking about the issue tomorrow, out of curiosity. She emailed back that a coworker will be absent tomorrow because she is placing her mother in a hospice. My poor coworker.
A hospice is a place you take people to die in a comfortable way. My great-aunt was put in one when she was hit with cancer suddenly. Hospitals have nurses rushing around taking care of sick people and helping people get well, in addition to giving medicines to dying people. Not exactly serene places to be in. From what I know, hospices have rooms for whole families to visit a dying loved one and make the patient comfortable as possible. I think counselors are available for the family and priests too. Post later. Bye!
