Review by Bonnie Neely taken from amazon.com

The Year My Mother Died, A Memoir by Sherry Scott is a brave book, which will make you both cry and laugh, as you read the deeply personal and moving account of how the author spent the year of her mother’s death. Dr. Scott writes with a delightfully fresh personality coming through. The book has some really humorous moments and is an enjoyable read, as well as informative and helpful for each reader when he or she is faced with deep loss. I highly recommend this book!!!”

Vision

Home Hospice of Grayson, Cooke and Fannin Counties is the most trusted provider of professional, ethical, individualized, and attentive end-of-life care, demonstrated by excellence in patient care, family support and community leadership.

Just because days are limited, quality of life shouldn’t be.  We help patients and families find comfort and peace. Surprisingly, perhaps, there are still opportunities to experience joy. Let us be of assistance during this time, when every moment is more precious than ever.

It’s natural for many, including patients and families to have questions, concerns – even fears about the days ahead.  A great truth we often ignore is that we all will face death.  Still, the news of a life-limiting condition often comes as a surprise.  Just as life is about choices, in many instances, so is death.  Patients, and ultimately many of us, are faced with how to live out remaining days – what endeavors are most critical, what treatment options are desired, what issues need resolving?

An important part of hospice is that our patients direct their care. You are in control of many decisions that affect how you wish to live.  Working with your own family physician, our team – physicians and nurses, clergy, social workers, aides, trained volunteers – surround you with support.  We offer services and programs that not only help physically, but often bring a smile.

Home Hospice has served this area as a nonprofit organization since 1982 when a group of forward-thinking volunteers joined together to minister to the needs of dying patients and their families.  Today, staff and volunteers live nearby, ensuring rapid responses and the thoughtful care neighbors have traditionally provided.
