A statement we have all heard but have difficulty living for reasons like what you described... we would spend money or time we don't have if we were dying. The mission statement of hospice is "helping patients make the most of life". Maybe that statement should not just apply to hospice patients but all of us. Live and love fully and every now and then.... buy the robe no matter the price because you are worth it! Live each day as if it were your last.

She really was a Southern Belle. Sounds like her family showed the same grace in her death as she did in life. What a beautiful tribute. To put it in writing is a memorial to her life and the analogy to God's grace brought tears to my eyes because which of us in not in desparate need of His grace. Stories like these are fuel for the fire to try harder to meet the needs of our patients and to offer forgiveness to others when needed because we most assuredly will need it to be offered to us despite our best efforts.
