364<p>I didn&#8217;t start out as a hospice nurse. Maybe my early nursing years seem a long way off, but the collection of lessons I have learned from my very ill and dying patients span my first day as a new student nurse, discovering my patient had died in the night, to the last visit of my day today, where a loving elderly mother is the caregiver for her dying daughter. So much laughter and sadness intertwined… I&#8217;ve only just begun to learn how love covers all the unsightliness, how gifts are found in the midst of the ashes, and how beautiful the human spirit is. My hope: Hospice diary in a small way is sharing these gifts.</p>

424			<div class="comment-body"><p>Amy, your article entitled The Last Dose, rang a bell with me.  We have discussed this phenomenon at work in our hospice unit and everyone has felt that guilt when the family looks at you and says what&#8217;s in that (.injection, sublingual) ? After the patient died within minutes.  I tell my colleagues &#8220;When that happens, you were the very last one to try to ease that patient&#8217;s suffering, good job&#8221;. To the distraught family member I say &#8221; That was medicine for (his/her) comfort&#8221;. &#8220;I&#8217;m so glad you were here for their last moment, good job&#8221;.</p>
