    Good man. That is not an easy gig but anything you can do for those about to pass will help you both in your journey.

    Best of luck with your sobriety. That as well is not an easy thing.

    Best post on site today.

    spare a few hours? Going out on a short limb here and say you have no idea what it takes to be someone completing hospice care for someone.

    This is not for the faint at heart. It will be emotionally and physically draining, not something to be half in

    not quite true for all. as a former addict to narcotics, getting and staying clean is the hardest thing ive ever had to do without a doubt. ive seen people trying to quit booze...those withdrawals can literally kill you.

    good luck on the altruistic path

    also NODA (no one dies alone) is an excellent organization you should also look into

    good to hear my man, a little chronic ain't too bad. definitely never want that chaos again with the ops but hard sometimes not to indulge. glad to hear you're doing well.

    Good for you if you help hospice--just went thru a terrible death with my mom. Hospice helps, the morphine speeds up the dying process. But a horrible thing to deal with-my father was worse- Pick"s disease. Tombstones do not talk back. gl all.

    I volunteer at the VA Hospital here, it varies from delivering meals, to pushing patients to get xrays/scans in wheelchairs, to sometimes helping in the kitchen.

    Hospice a little heavy, not saying don't do it, maybe just really think about it.

    Good luck in what ever you do Tony,
