PALLIATIVE
CARE
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the average person knew much more about death than Americans do today because it was common for people to breathe their last at home. Today, advances in technology have frequently moved a person’s final days to the hospital room, where a desperate battle is often waged to prolong life. Patients and doctors alike, however, are increasingly coming to understand that palliative care is an option for those who wish to end their lives quietly in familiar surroundings amongst those they love. This requires that physicians give patients with terminal illnesses the facts about their disease so that such end-of-life conversations can lead to appropriate decision making that is more emotionally and spiritually satisfying.
Palliative care can offer peace of mind and relief to those who suffer from pain or illness. It can also ease the worry of family members who hate to see loved ones suffer. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we are here to be a support to you and your family as you face a challenging and overwhelming time. Call 3473431 (233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton) 24 hours a day.
“O death, where is thy sting '/ O grave, where is thy victory?"
