I'm so glad the hospice care at home is gentle, and compassionate-that's a wonderful support for all of you. Palliative, hospice and end-of-life are all terms that I've found mean slightly different things to different medical staff and in different countries as healthcare systems and guidelines are different. It's also tied to what services/support is available - here in the UK it's what we call a postcode lottery!
How you described sitting with your Dad to explain and reframe hospice is a touching heart swell moment. My Dad and I had a few of those for different reasons, so I know how emotionally draining they can be.
Thanks for sharing those great photos! Your Dad's an impressive builder!
I’m glad the hospice reframe really helped him. Honestly I would probably have been the same if given that I was on hospice. It’s great that he has you. Thank you for sharing this. I also love his place.!
I'm glad he was able to understand that changing the label doesn't change his reality. It will hopefully make it easier. He has a really great setup on his property. Those pictures are just scratching the surface.
So happy you were able to advocate for him so can he be his happiest and live his best life possible at home! Thank you for sharing the photos of his home - so beautiful and touching.
Breaks down heart.
Thank you.
My heart goes out to you
Thank you.

It has been an emotional time for everyone involved. I'm glad we have this option.

What a fascinating man your dad is! I'm glad he's in caring hands now. ♥️
He has quite a story. I'm glad he's getting the care he needs instead of getting bounced around without a diagnosis.
So happy you were able to advocate for him so can he be his happiest and live his best life possible at home! Thank you for sharing the photos of his home - so beautiful and touching.
Isn't it amazing what he created with his own two hands? I can see why he wants to be there instead of some sterile facility.
Such a beautiful story! Thank you for writing and sharing it.
I'm very glad that things turned out well.
