I've wondered this myself. And to those who say here they are in the process of dying, if true, I wish you all the best of luck and hope you enjoy your final years/months/days :3 I work not only as a special needs caregiver but also a hospice aide. It's all too common to see people die in my line of work

Just wanted to say that I consider you a hero. Treatment can feel like a dehumanizing process and it are caregivers, nurses, hospice aids, people like you, who have helped me (and other like me) cope with this process, who have made sure that we feel like human beings throuhout the process. In any case, I still have a chance of getting better (slim though it may be after my recent relapse), so I don't want to sound overly dramatic, but... thank you! 

Thank you! But at the same time it's an amazing learning experience for us caregivers. Especially in hospice where we do befriend and help people cope with what may be their last days. And having the opportunity to be the person who is with the person to the end is humbling. I don't often feel like I deserve to be the last person they see, but the fact they allow me to be and share their experiences with me help me better myself as an individual. It's not always fun, and at times it can be heart breaking. But I want to ensure they have someone by their side-when they pass, I wouldnt want to die alone and I know they dont either.
