End of Life Issues

My husband died of cancer last July nearly two years after the first signs of the disease. Dying was a challenge for him and for me as his caregiver.
I don't know if Canada has Hospice. It's very helpful in the U.S. during the dying process. A person is eligible for this service if the expected life expectancy is 6 months or less.
The caregiver has full responsibility for the dying person and must be present when Hospice people come to the house. But Hospice will send out equipment like a hospital bed, a bedside tray and toilet, and a walker for the duration. It will also send out an aide to bathe the dying person (while the caregiver is present) two or three times a week. Hospice provides a nurse visit once a week to check the dying person's vitals just so everyone knows what's going on. The nurse orders Rx that are related to the dying process like pain and anxiety meds.
The thing I found most helpful after my husband died was a drop in grief support group. It is very comforting to me to be with people who have gone through this experience. There was also a caregivers support group.
