Palliative Care
who knows why
we are drawn
to the dark places
in people's lives
my daughter said
she wouldn't want
that grief and
death stuff all day
inching in
holding hands
wouldn't you
do something
differently if
you had more time
maybe there
was a talk
or not a very
good one about it
we wonder if
we should have
done more
psychosocial comfort
sensitive improved
continuity of care
there is no cure
so we focus on
higher quality
life affirming
in the midst of
life limiting
not hospice. they
have more than
just six months
left usually and
we just thought
there should be
a structure of care
set up for this
kind of thing
