I appreciate your guises advice but it be better just to be honest with the patients pretty much it’s hospice care it’s basically going to just keep you drugged up so you can be somewhat comfortable even though you still will be in great pain and will deteriorate to a skeleton and will look very ugly when you die that’s where she’s tired by the truth
