I don't mean for all of my tales to be sad, but it's the extremes that have stuck out these first few weeks. Here's another psychosocial dilemma. What do you do if you're dying at home on hospice and your spouse is abusive? It's hard to "leave" as we encourage in other situations, when you are trapped in your bed dying of cancer. This was the predicament of a woman I admitted yesterday. In her case, coming to the "house" was a safety issue. So now, he's not allowed to come and visit, and she hopes to end her days not being threatened or abused.
