Over the years I have had a fleeting glimpse into the help that Hospice (end of life care) has to offer. Patients who have been diagnosed with an illness or disease that is an advanced chronic disease or illness; the focus is on comfort (physically, spiritually, and emotionally).

This subject is never a pleasant one. No one likes to acknowledge domestic abuse is a way of life…especially if it is happening within their own life. Unfortunately, domestic abuse happens every day in a multitude of ways. It doesn’t just happen in the lives of the poor, the rich, or the celebrity world; [...]
