Loss in Later Life Resources
"Although hospice care is available to any terminally ill person, the vast majority of patients cared for by hospice each year are older persons. And any examination of information about demographic shifts in the United States over the coming years suggests a phenomenal growth in the aging population. The subject of Loss in Later Life, then, seemed an excellent choice to add to HFA's series on Living With Grief. It was in fact a topic that had been suggested by hospice and bereavement professionals over the years."
--Jack D. Gordon, Former Chairman and CEO, HFA
