"Hospice does not mean giving up hope. What happens is that one's hope system changes. One hopes for comfort and dignity to insure the best quality of life possible for the end of life." Marcy Rosen Bernstein, LMSW, Jacob Perlow Hospice, New York, NY

"A Humorist Illuminates the Blessings of Hospice" by Jane E. Brody, The New York Times
