Hospice care doesnt mean you are taking or ending your life. That is fear mongering.
What it does entail is making your final days as comfortable, and as pain free as possible. My mother in law was admitted to hospice dying from a failed heart valve ( she was frail, age 99 ) and couldn’t have survived valve replacement surgery. She received good care, never regained consciousness and passed after 4 days. Nothing was done to hasten her death.
