Ok, since Wayne isn't around to ask, I figured I'd take the liberty to give you all a question:

How do you help relieve stress in your life?

This past summer I had a lot of stomach problems and they were directly related to stress. Since then, I'm trying to find new ways to cut down on stress (and the medical bills it causes).

For those of us who have had a loved one go through hospice, you understand that hospice care is more about the person than the illness, and that hospice focuses on respect, choice and empowerment for patients and their family members. In many ways, it could be considered a role model to which other forms of healthcare should aspire towards.

November is National Hospice Month. It takes special people to help the dying and their families with their end-of-life care. Those people and those institutions that provide quality hospice care deserve at least this honor.
