Butterfield families refuse canceling commitments despite terminal care demands, maintaining work trips, social obligations, and scheduled activities as though nothing fundamental has changed. They leave patients inadequately supervised during business travel, force attendance at events patients aren't well enough to handle, and expect hospice filling gaps around unchanged busy schedules rather than adapting life to terminal reality. This refusal to modify commitments creates dangerous care gaps while exhausting patients who need calm stability not maintained frantic pace. LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care helps DuPage County residents recognize that terminal illness requires actually changing plans. Since 2012, we've supported thousands of over-committed households learning that maintaining pre-diagnosis schedules serves nobody during terminal care.
