Hospice offers kind support for all

Mary Washington Hospice is a blessing. I have personally had two family members receive its services--my mother in 1994-95 and my husband in 2003. Since then, I have had the privilege of becoming a part of its support team.

Mary Washington Hospice is the only nonprofit medical hospice in the area. No one is turned away because of financial need.

Because it is a medical hospice, it offers the services of a nurse, social worker, home health aide, chaplain, and volunteer, as well as art, massage, and music therapists. Mary Washington Hospice's bereavement department continues that support for a year after your loved one has died.

Mary Washington Hospice is there to support the patient and family through what can be the most difficult time for so many.

I encourage anyone who is facing what we all will, to reach out to hospice and allow it to ease the journey with compassionate and caring support.

I honestly don't know how my family and I would have made it without them. The words thank you just aren't enough.
