Keep in mind that depression and symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath, anxiety, inability to eat or sleep normally, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting can often be relieved through medical care.

Give the hospice written permission to speak about your condition with your caretakers.

Let your friends and family know of the availability of the hospice staff for their needs as well.

Let your family and friends know whether you want to talk openly about your situation, even though your choice may be uncomfortable for them. Family members and friends can be overwhelmed and upset by such talk and avoid it unless you bring up the subject. 

Have hope.
