Time for hospice?: You're not alone -- even now. Your physician can inform you accurately whether anything more can be done to improve your life. Maybe there is. But this is the 21st century and you have always better and more dignified options than starving yourself. Somebody loves or has loved you. If this is the end, please get with a hospice team. You'll be glad -- and so will we.
