How do you know when it's time for hospice?

By Randi Belisomo NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Worn out and needing someone to know she was desperate, Jen Bosworth called her mother's physician. "She was having problems getting around, and treatments weren't working," recalls Bosworth, then a 35-year-old newlywed. "She was spending more time being schlepped around than enjoying life." Bosworth's doctor welcomed the call, offering a new option: hospice care. "I was totally afraid of that word," remembers Bosworth, who wrote a one-woman show about her mother's illness, Why Not Me: Love, Cancer and Jack White.
