This was my story, 13 years ago. I did all the care with two kids, 4 and 7. It would have been great to have help.

But the thing that the article misses is the proportion. If the suckiness of death and dying is normalized to -100, then having the hospice care feels somewhere south of 20, moving the experience from a -100 to at best -80.

As much as I dislike our insurance system, I'm not sure it's worth a lot of money for end-of-life help.
