In our graihdparents'' time families were large and extended. There was always a person available (generally an Unmarried daughter or aunt) who would be expected to nurse' the sick and dying. Today,, as families have shrunk and most people go out to work, one of the biggest prob- lems for famines of the sick is to find someone to \take care.\ Strangers are hired, come and go and do what they are paid for — no more. Some. of the sick are, of course, hospitalized. The new Weekly meei forthoselockingtoovercomeanger, Chicken and biscuit dinner depression, fern, anxiety, wM be served at the Rave^a MeUma^ and substance abuse etwork of Calll, We don't know what to say../ order demands that patients are sent home according to rules created by people with degrees in management and business administration whose eyes are fastened to the bottom line. While a patient is in the hospi- tal, the personnel, plagued by the usual shortages, try to pro- vide the necessities of care, but leave no time for the human touch which could create such an enormous difference in day- by-day living or dying. Very few visitors to a hospital can handle patients who will not get well. They no longer can offer platitudes as \Oh come on, youll be well in no time.\ We don't know what to say when there is no Hallmark card to guide us. So, the TV with its canned laughter blares on and tile visitors talk to each other, t; Most of us would welcome an end in which we could be siu> rounded by the family we cre- ated and which created us. In such a setting it would be natu- ral for a dying person to hand over the reins to the next in hne and say our good-'byes. But our Annual Spring Flea fViarket & Antique Show families are spread across the land ai>d will ask for time off for la. funeral rather than a vigil'. ; - - : ; Some patients in the final stages of their illnass are lucky enough to be cared for in a Hospice* There; v the effects of loneliness and isolation are well understood,' and every- thing is dime to have patients live their last days surrounded by love, caring and beauty. Family members, friends, spiritual advisors, children, animals, visit around the clock. Telephones, radios, whirl baths, home cooked meals are available and medication is given on demand rather than by someone else's clock. In addition, it seems that Hospice personnel are not deterred by the current hysteria concerning sexual harassment, so they freely hold patients' hands, kiss their cheeks, stroke their hair or backs, massage their feet and generally attempt to al- leviate the lack of physical con- tact dying persons so frequently experience. Although medicine may have given up hope, humanity can still step in and fill the dying person's last days with a shower of attention, affection and love.
