  The incredible care that Hospice of Virginia provided was phenomenal! I could not have been happier! I was reluctant at first to use Hospice because of our previous experience with a different Hospice in Tappahannock but I was assured and reassured that Hospice of Virginia would take great care of my dad and they did! Each nurse, aid, pastor and administrator was incredible, pleasant, joyful and had the biggest smiles and hearts! I didn't think I could be happier with any company...then towards the end of my dad's life I was offered Peaceful Passing Nurses. I can't put into words how much this helped me and my brother during the last days and hours!! It was such a blessing for me to know they were there! It felt like I was in a zombie state. I was awake but hard for me to even do anything for myself...just waiting for the end. One nurse just looked at me and said 'I'm here...why don't you go take a shower now, I'll come get you if anything changes, another, 'you haven't eaten today, I'm here, go get something to eat, I'll come get you if anything changes, another, I'm here, you can go take a nap, I'll come get you if anything changes, and another, I'm here, I'll administer the morphine. What a true blessing it was that they were able to walk me through those last days! Then when his breathing changed and I looked at the nurse and she just nodded and said, now would be a great time for you to talk to him and I did. I was able to tell him so many things that I had already said but now, I needed to say again. Then she said, you've told him everyone else was going to be okay, tell him you'll be okay. I did. I told him he had given me so many great memories from the time I was young until even last week. He nodded his head twice and took his last breath. If death can be beautiful, it certainly was! BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS THERE TO WALK ME THROUGH THE STEPS!! I can't begin to tell you what a special moment it was for me!!! I will never be able to thank Hospice and the Peaceful Passing nurses enough for what they did for my dad, for me and for my brother. After all things with being the executor and selling the house is over, I can't think of a better way to honor my dad and thank hospice and peaceful passing nurses better than volunteering. Peaceful passing is an incredible organization that should have way more volunteers and I plan on being one of the helpers. They have helped me and I plan on helping them and sharing the Peaceful Passing brochure with all that I can. Thank you again for what you do! I appreciate you so!! Blessings! Yvonne Dodson
