sorry that should say attacked by her hospice nurse.
I think the people who tout hospice just "obeyed" their philosophy, never bumped into a problem such as I have described, because I worked at a place with hundreds of people, heard many such events taking place.
It is a cost saving -based organization.

I'm sorry you feel so bitter

I don't think these remarks are bitter at all...oreolady is honestly and forcefully acknowledging the unpleasant truth:

Hospice is not all it is cracked up to be.

The insensitive way that hospice handled this situation is indicative of the psychological ploys that are being used - with family members caught up in their grief and/or distress often relegating to secondary position the needs of the sick person.
