Belmont families attempt to negotiate with terminal illness, making bargains with themselves about acceptable conditions for accepting hospice or promises about future behavior if patients just improve slightly. They tell themselves they'll enroll in hospice if symptoms worsen just a bit more, promise to seek help after one more treatment cycle, and create elaborate conditional agreements treating disease progression like a negotiable contract. This bargaining mentality delays appropriate care while families wait for conditions that keep shifting. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps Cook County residents recognize that terminal illness doesn't negotiate. Since 2012, we've supported thousands of bargaining households learning that accepting reality now serves patients better than endless conditional postponements.
