The hospice caregivers that came to our home to help my best friend and longtime boyfriend who died of pancreatic cancer in November were very kind, compassionate and comforting to have around. Particularly at the end, when a caregiver not scheduled to come over, did so anyway to help me put my loved one in the hospital bed set up earlier that day in the living room. Just as hospice arrived, my loved one took a turn and quickly began actively dying. He never got into the hospital bed and instead died in his own bed. The presence of the hospice caregiver was a godsend as he stood over me as I sat by my boyfriend's bedside holding his hand as he passed on. It was a true miracle and blessing that hospice was there at that very moment, otherwise, I would have been alone as my loved one left. The caregivers make themselves available, no matter what.
