Hodgkins families feel like they're betraying dying loved ones by enrolling in hospice, as though choosing comfort care means abandoning someone who trusted them to keep fighting. This guilt prevents families from accessing services that could dramatically improve remaining quality of life while patients suffer unnecessarily.

LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Cook County residents recognize that choosing comfort represents profound love not abandonment. Since 2012, we've supported thousands of guilt-ridden households learning that hospice honors rather than betrays dying patients.
